5G has been improved, but is no one aware of it?

Ookla, which backs up speed tests, released the second half of 2024's connectivity report in America. One important point is that 5G performance is improving. However, there is one important question: Will anyone notice?

5G performance has improved nationwide, with download and upload speeds becoming faster. For iPhone users, better 5G performance means faster app downloads and fewer interruptions during streaming videos.

However, it seems that 5G is just a name upgrade. Outside of extremely fast mmWave 5G performance in specific locations, 5G feels like a continuous evolution like 4G/LTE.

5G in 2024

What does the data show? Ookla's oldest comparative report covers the first half of 2024. It includes several explanations about comparisons with last year and the first and second halves.

"5G speed scores: Factors affecting download, upload, and latency results."

T-Mobile rose from 228.24 to 242.76.
Verizon fell from 191.56 to 185.26.
AT&T fluctuated slightly from 131.63 to 132.68.

"On the other hand, in the category of what customers actually think, the needle has not moved positively. The results have changed very little."

Customer evaluations are based on a five-star evaluation system.

T-Mobile slightly fell from 3.73 to 3.7.
Verizon remained stagnant at year-end with 3.29.
AT&T moved from 3.14 to 3.12.

"Better than average, but the story hasn't changed much."

Ookla added a latest report ranking for 5G availability. This considers how often customers of carriers can access 5G most of the time.

T-Mobile leads with 89.4%.
AT&T is in second place at 86.2%.
Verizon is below average at 49.3%, less than 50%.

This is an area to monitor in future reports.

"Regarding fixed internet connections, Ookla highly evaluates AT&T Fiber."

In the second half of 2024, AT&T Fiber was the fastest ISP in America with an intermediate download speed of 357.45 Mbps and an intermediate upload speed of 286.93 Mbps.

And it's good news for AT&T that their lead is strong:
