威瑞森(Verizon)在一項(xiàng)新調(diào)查中被評(píng)選為2020年上半年整體最佳移動(dòng)網(wǎng)絡(luò),,在7項(xiàng)評(píng)測(cè)中奪得六個(gè)第一(包括一項(xiàng)并列第一)。
IHS Markit旗下公司RootMetrics在10月6日發(fā)布報(bào)告稱,,AT&T整體排名第二,,緊隨其后的是T-Mobile。
威瑞森在可靠性、可訪問性,、數(shù)據(jù)連接和呼叫評(píng)測(cè)中排名第一,。與前些年一樣,威瑞森與AT&T在短信質(zhì)量評(píng)測(cè)中并列第一,。
然而在網(wǎng)絡(luò)速度這項(xiàng)最重要的評(píng)測(cè)中,,威瑞森排名第二,僅次于AT&T,,而T-Mobile排名第三,。
在這些排名公布之際,整個(gè)行業(yè)正在耗費(fèi)巨資向5G技術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)型,,未來5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)傳輸速度最終將達(dá)到當(dāng)前4G網(wǎng)絡(luò)的10至100倍,,同時(shí)在此之前,T-Mobile最終于4月完成了與Sprint的合并,,交易價(jià)格高達(dá)260億美元,。RootMetrics在其最新的測(cè)試中稱,公司使用5G手機(jī)測(cè)量了5G服務(wù)的速度和可用性,,并將其作為排名的一個(gè)考察類目,。
在談?wù)?G時(shí),RootMetrics表示:“別忘了,,頻譜的不同會(huì)帶來重要的可訪問性差異,,運(yùn)營(yíng)商往往面臨著地域覆蓋范圍和網(wǎng)絡(luò)速度不可兼得的難題?!?/p>
威瑞森稱其將提供擁有超快網(wǎng)速的5G,,但僅覆蓋美國(guó)約36個(gè)城市的部分地區(qū),而AT&T與T-Mobile提供的5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)速度要慢不少,,但覆蓋的城市要多得多,。這一點(diǎn)與《財(cái)富》雜志在最近的5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)測(cè)試結(jié)果類似。
RootMetrics并未提供有關(guān)5G的具體數(shù)據(jù),,但它提到,,可用性在密西西比州杰克遜的T-Mobile網(wǎng)絡(luò)測(cè)試中高達(dá)63%,在哥倫布斯的AT&T網(wǎng)絡(luò)測(cè)試中達(dá)到了50%,,而在奧馬哈的威瑞森網(wǎng)絡(luò)測(cè)試中則低至0.7%,。
就5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)平均速度而言,威瑞森在洛杉磯的網(wǎng)速達(dá)到了255Mbps,,大概是威瑞森全美5G與4G綜合平均速度36Mbps的7倍,。按照255Mbps的速度,手機(jī)用戶可以瞬間完成歌曲專輯的下載,,或在短短數(shù)分鐘之內(nèi)完成一整部高清電影的下載,。
AT&T最快的5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)速度出現(xiàn)在菲尼克斯,,達(dá)到了116Mbps,約是其全美42Mbps整體平均速度的3倍,。T-Mobile最快的5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)速度出現(xiàn)在弗吉尼亞州的漢普頓羅斯,,達(dá)到了83Mbps,是其整體平均速度20Mbps的4倍,。
RootMetrics所使用的方法與Ookla和Opensignal等其他移動(dòng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)測(cè)試公司不同,,這些公司在評(píng)選時(shí)依據(jù)的是由客戶在其手機(jī)上使用免費(fèi)應(yīng)用程序開展的測(cè)試。AT&T在Ookla最近的下載速度測(cè)試中名列第一,,隨后是T-Mobile和威瑞森,。
RootMetrics通過其駕車前往全美各地的專業(yè)人士開展測(cè)試。然而在2020年上半年,,受新冠疫情爆發(fā)的影響,,RootMetrics不得不削減測(cè)試的規(guī)模。為了匯編最新的排名,,其調(diào)查者開展了270萬次測(cè)試,,駕駛里程達(dá)到了近33萬公里,而且還測(cè)試了超過3000多個(gè)室內(nèi)地點(diǎn),,但較2019年下半年有所減少,,當(dāng)時(shí)在編纂報(bào)告時(shí)共開展了390萬次測(cè)試,駕駛里程36萬多公里,,測(cè)試了8000個(gè)室內(nèi)地點(diǎn),。
RootMetrics還在55個(gè)主要的大都市按上述7項(xiàng)評(píng)測(cè)對(duì)各大運(yùn)營(yíng)商進(jìn)行了評(píng)比,較以前的125個(gè)地區(qū)有所下降,。在大多數(shù)地方測(cè)試類目中,威瑞森以329分排名第一,,隨后是AT&T 193分,,T-Mobile 78分和Sprint 70分。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng))

Verizon had the best overall mobile network during the first half of 2020, placing first in six out of seven categories (including one tie), according to a new survey.
AT&T was second overall, followed by T-Mobile, mobile evaluator RootMetrics said on October 6.
Verizon came in first for reliability, accessibility, data connections, and calling. As in prior years, Verizon tied for first place with AT&T for texting quality.
But in the all-important test for speediest network, Verizon placed second behind AT&T, with T-Mobile lagging behind.
The rankings come just as the industry is making an expensive transition to 5G technology, which will eventually bring speeds 10 to 100 times as fast as current 4G LTE, and after T-Mobile finally completed its $26 billion merger with Sprint in April. In its latest round of testing, RootMetrics said it used 5G-capable phones and measured the speed and availability of 5G service as part of all of the rankings.
“Keep in mind that there are important availability differences based on spectrum types, and carriers face a sometimes difficult tradeoff between broad geographical coverage and fast speeds,” RootMetrics noted about 5G.
Verizon claims to offer a superfast type of 5G, but only in parts of about three dozen cities, while AT&T and T-Mobile offer a much slower type of 5G in many more cities. That’s similar to what Fortune found in our recent test of 5G networks.
RootMetrics didn’t offer specific statistics for 5G, but it noted that availability reached as high as 63% of tests on T-Mobile’s network in Jackson, Miss., and 50% of AT&T’s network in Columbus, compared with a low of 0.7% on Verizon’s network in Omaha.
As far as average 5G speeds, Verizon in Los Angeles hit 255 megabits per second, about seven times as fast as Verizon’s average combined 5G and 4G speed nationwide of 36 Mbps. At 255 Mbps, a phone user could instantly download an album of songs or grab an entire HD movie in a few minutes.
AT&T’s best 5G hit 116 Mbps in Phoenix, about three times as fast as its overall national average of 42 Mbps. T-Mobile’s top 5G speed, 83 Mbps in Hampton Roads, Va., was four times as fast as its overall average of 20 Mbps.
RootMetrics uses a different methodology than other mobile network testing firms, like Ookla and Opensignal, which rank based on speed tests performed by customers using free apps on their phones. AT&T topped Ookla’s most recent download speed ranking, followed by T-Mobile, with Verizon lagging.
RootMetrics, a unit of IHS Markit, conducts its tests with professionals driving around the country. But in the first half of 2020 it had to cut back the amount of testing owing to the COVID-19 outbreak. To compile the latest rankings, its surveyors conducted 2.7 million tests, drove almost 203,000 miles, and also checked more than 3,000 indoor locations. That was down from 3.9 million tests, driving 225,000 miles, and checking 8,000 indoor locations for its report covering the second half of 2019.
RootMetrics also ranked the carriers in seven categories in each of 55 major metropolitan areas, down from its usual 125 areas. Verizon placed first in the most , at 329, followed by AT&T with 193, T-Mobile with 78, and Sprint with 70.
