The results are in — if you want the fastest 5G available in the U.S., Ookla says look to T-Mobile. The company recently released its third-quarter market report and Speedtest Intelligence tests, which found that T-Mobile provides the fastest 5G for both cellular and broadband networks.

Apparently, it wasn’t even a close margin. T-Mobile’s median 5G download speeds clocked in at 135.17 Mbps on Speedtest, compared to second-place Verizon at 78.94 Mbps. AT&T came in just behind Verizon at 72.46 Mbps. T-Mobile also dominated in 5G availability at 64.4 percent compared to less than 50 percent for both AT&T and Verizon.

Ookla also looked at best locations for overall 5G speeds, and T-Mobile came out on top again. Out of the 100 most populated cities in the U.S., T-Mobile ranked fastest in 51 of them, with Verizon taking 10, AT&T taking nine and U.S. Cellular taking one. You can view the full results here.
