Best in the Midwest: Verizon beats T-Mobile and AT&T in regional LTE coverage and speeds
Surprise, surprise, it's Verizon that has 4G LTE available at most places in this grand nation, with T-Mobile slightly behind in the Midwest, Southwest and Southeast quadrants. The difference may not seem much in percentage points, yet these are exactly the spots many people are complaining about with their carriers out in the boondocks.
In addition, Verizon's 4G network served the fastest average download speeds in all regions but the East Coast, and the difference with T-Mobile there is probably not that much, considering that Big Red was tied with the Un-carrier in overall speeds in Q4, despite the heavier traffic on its network.
