AT&T is the fastest US mobile provider but probably not by as much as first reported, according to new information from speed-test company Ookla.
AT&T's overall mobile speed was artificially inflated in Ookla's latest speed ratings by the sheer number of people testing their new "5G E" connections, whose icon notification has recently started showing up on newer iPhone models. This, along with AT&T's extensive
5G E advertising, is currently the subject of a Sprint lawsuit against the company for deceptive practices.Posted 5 years ago by Bill Horne in General Telecommunications Forum
