(5G Time Spent shows the percentage of time customers with a 5G device can get a 5G signal on a compatible phone.) Big Red boasted 792 Mbps speed when Ookla measured in the third quarter of 2020 by the fourth quarter that number had tumbled to 67 Mbps.Īt the same time, Ookla says Verizon's 5G time spent improved from 0.6% in the third quarter to 29.6% by the end of the year. As a result Verizon's 5G speeds tumbled from first to worst in Ookla's latest rankings. Like the other carriers, Verizon has since deployed a nationwide network built on slower but more extensive parts of the wireless spectrum. To enjoy high-speeds, you've got to be in sight of a mmWave module, which means being outdoors in one of the 71 cities where Verizon has deployed high-speed 5G. What's not so good is that mmWave signals don't carry very far, and they can't penetrate physical barriers. The technology is super fast with speeds often approaching - and even surpassing the 1 Gbps mark. That's because Verizon built its initial 5G network on mmWave. The best median download speeds are much better for 5G - significantly so, in the case of Verizon. A report from testing firm Rootmetrics (opens in new tab) showing network performance at the end of 2020 gives us a look at the differences between 5G vs.
