You may even see disclaimers like “wireless speeds may vary” because Wi-Fi speeds are always inconsistent no matter what provider you choose-it’s just how Wi-Fi works.įor example, there may be issues with the provider’s service area, like faulty connections somewhere within the neighborhood. Internet providers will state “up to” when advertising maximum speeds because many variables can prevent you from hitting that top speed. What you see on the speed test is simply where your internet speeds are currently. Most of the time, your internet speeds will fluctuate within a small range of that max speed. The speeds promised by your internet plan are the max speeds you can expect. You likely won’t ever see the maximum speed advertised by your provider in the speed test, but your speed test results should come close. AT&T and Verizon led that metric with 125.87 and 108.64 Mbps median speeds.įor the best performance by location, New Jersey, Florida, and New York had the fastest fixed median download speeds with 204.48, 193.13, and 190.04 Mbps.Ĭheck out the full Ookla report for more details by region/city, provider, and more.Why doesn’t my internet speed match my plan? Interestingly, Spectrum came in second to last for median upload speed with a measly 11.69 Mbps. However, Verizon did just edge out T-Mobile for 5G consistency by 0.3%: US broadband speeds for Q3 2022įor fixed broadband Internet, Spectrum led the pack with a 211.66 Mbps median download speed with COX and XFINITY following at 196.52 and 191.65, respectively. Ookla’s definition of this metric is a carrier “showing at least 5 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload speeds.”įor 5G, T-Mobile also led with 193.06 Mbps median download speed and 69.2% availability. T-Mobile also won for overall consistency. Verizon and AT&T came in at about half of that median speed at 58.64 and 57.94 Mbps, respectively.įor median upload speeds, the major US carriers were within about 3 Mbps with T-Mobile leading at 10.91 Mbps. The median download speed for T-Mobile came in at 116.14 Mbps for Q3 this year in Ookla’s study. T-Mobile again outperformed the competition – continuing the results we’ve seen from Opensignal, PCMag, and Ookla over the summer. Ookla, the maker of Speedtest, shared its report for US mobile and broadband Internet performance for Q3 2022 today. For fixed broadband, Spectrum beat out COX and XFINITY for the fastest download speeds. Continuing its lead in mobile performance, T-Mobile had download speeds almost 2x faster than AT&T and Verizon, plus the strongest consistency and 5G availability.
