           Who Has the Best Enhanced 5G: AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon?

   Josh Centers

   The 5G world is confusing. Although there are lower frequency 5G bands
   with unexceptional performance, each of the big three American carriers
   has its own high-performance variant: AT&T's 5G+, T-Mobile's Ultra
   Capacity 5G, and Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband. (Each gets [1]its own
   icon on the iPhone too.) Which one is best? Opensignal has performed
   [2]the industry's first direct comparison of the three services, and
   found that while Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband had an edge in performance
   for some uses, T-Mobile's Ultra Capacity 5G was available in more
   places by far. All three were considerably faster than standard 5G, but
   in our view, T-Mobile wins overall with its superior coverage and
   throughput that's on par with Verizon's. AT&T fared the worst, both in
   coverage and speed.
