“AT&T’s wireless network performs better than systems maintained by other top carriers including Verizon Wireless in many markets, according to new data from start-up RootMetrics, a mobile network performance service,” Olga Kharif reports for Bloomberg.
“The carrier’s network outperforms those of Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile USA in 14 of 23 markets, according to the data, due to be released on Nov. 11,” Kharif reports. “In markets such as Washington, D.C., Seattle and Philadelphia, AT&T earned a higher RootScore, based on the company’s proprietary algorithm that weighs the carrier’s voice and data quality. AT&T is also one of two best performers in six additional markets.”
Kharif reports, “The RootMetrics data underscored the difficulty AT&T has encountered in other markets, including San Francisco. There, AT&T’s gear didn’t perform as well as Sprint’s and Verizon’s. AT&T’s RootScore in the market is on par with T-Mobile’s.”
