It's Verizon's turn to brag about the latest RootMetrics report

Like its rivals, Verizon is using the latest technologies such as 4x4 MIMO which adds additional connection points between a cell tower and your phone, three channel carrier aggregation which widens the pipeline allowing data signals to move faster, and 256 QAM which allows your phone to handle larger amounts of information to increase data speeds. Lastly, Big Red is employing LTE U and LAA which will allow your phone to access unlicensed Wi-Fi spectrum for faster speeds.
"These results are incredible, and we’re rightly proud of them, but they are really something for our customers to celebrate. Everything we do is for them. Users deserve the best – largest coverage, superior performance, unrivaled reliability and the consistently best speeds – and they know where they can find these. Millions of people have switched to Verizon Unlimited since its launch in February, and these latest results show they are enjoying the best possible network experience."-Nicola Palmer, chief wireless network officer, Verizon
