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.

    Given the viruses and permanent marauds, clients are not expected to be in the cities any time soon if ever. High population density is gone from our lives; able to spend population at least. Ghettos don't need 5G.

    You should be ashamed that the ghettos exist, rather than judging the people in them. Your "let them eat cake" attitude is disgusting.

      Look, bro, let's put the record straight. I love the island on Manhattan and spent 25 years in NYC and left because a few years after 9/11 I anticipated the shit we are in. But that's just lyrics.
      The sad truth is that people whose life does matter left the island. They currently all in their summer and family houses. They don't need to go back as they can function in said houses for a very long time. Whoever are still on the island - mostly they don't matter at all and color of the skin or political views have nothing to do with it. Their first priority now should be to get people who matters back. Otherwise people who do not matter will all die one way or another, but mostly from sickness, famine, and exterminating each other.
      No, you will not be able to build your paradise. Even if socialism were possible, you still need people who matters to build it. So, get over it. It's enough.

    Ghettos would likely benefit more from high-speed cell phone data, than wired Internet that puts you on the laptop/desktop capital-outlay/upgrade/theft/backup treadmill.

      Actually, yes, very true.
