Who's got the best highway coverage? Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint's networks put to the test

State-of-the-art network benchmarking equipment was used for the carriers' road coverage tests
Just in time for the Great Thanksgiving Exodus, a unique testing procedure was set out to measure the network coverage and performance of Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint over vast swaths of the nation's acclaimed highway system. How vast? Well, how about driving 52,000 miles in all states, and conducting 703,000 voice and data tests between March and July 2017? The tests were standardized by using state-of-the-art Rohde & Schwarz Diversity Benchmarker II gear with Samsung Galaxy phones, as these are currently at the forefront of modern network connectivity services.
That's all fine and dandy, but who won? Well, depending on what they were doing with the handsets, it was either AT&T or Verizon. AT&T got the highest average download speeds, if you can call 6.9 Mbps quick, but that was still a third faster than Verizon, and let's not forget that the kits were moving all the time. Sprint had the most finicky data connection of the big four, with just 85% availability, indicating that its network has some catching up to do in remote places.
