T-Mobile has been crowned the top wireless network in the U.S., according to OpenSignal's "2018 State of Mobile Networks" report.

The "uncarrier" blew past Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint in five out of six major metric tests, besting the competition on 4G download speed, 3G download speed, overall download speed, 3G latency, and 4G availability. The only metric T-Mobile didn't win was 4G latency; AT&T just beat it by a hair.
