T-Mobile has thousands more 5G cities than Verizon and AT&T, Ookla says:
T-Mobile has almost 20 times more 5G cities than AT&T and Verizon combined, according to a new analytics report by Ookla. T-Mobile is sitting on 5,013 cities with 5G -- and that's before adding in the former 5G sites of Sprint after the carrier's $26.5 billion merger with Sprint -- while AT&T has 237 5G cities and Verizon has 39.
Verizon was by far the fastest in speeds, though, charting at a speed score of 870 in comparison to AT&T's 78 and T-Mobile's 64 in Ookla's report.
"Only T-Mobile is doing the hard work to deliver 5G coverage and performance. Sure, it would be easier to deliver blazing speeds in postage stamp-sized areas like Verizon, but our strategy is different," said Neville Ray, president of technology at T-Mobile. "T-Mobile's strategy is built on delivering a meaningful 5G experience people can actually use."
There are now 5,164 cities across the US with 5G, according to Ookla.

Around here, 5G spreads graffiti, mostly about saving children. To be honest, though, I haven't looked into the wireless protocols supported by the two cell towers in question, but the towers seem to be related to nearby painted slogans.
