Your odds of having a 5G connection remain highest on T-Mobile, and your download and upload speeds on that carrier will also probably exceed those on AT&T and Verizon by a comfortable margin, a new survey finds.

Opensignal’s Mobile Network Experience report, posted Monday, continues a winning streak for T-Mobile in the research firm’s network tests. On its top metric of availability—how often do devices on a carrier’s network get a 5G signal—T-Mobile’s score of 67.9% improves by 10 percentage points from last summer’s Opensignal findings.

“T-Mobile’s score is almost six times that of second-placed AT&T, and around nine times that of Verizon,” an advance copy of Opensignal’s report reads. 

T-Mobile also retains a commanding lead in Opensignal’s download speed experience metric, or “the typical everyday speeds a user experiences across an operator’s mobile data networks”: 139.3Mbps versus 49.9Mbps at AT&T and 42.6Mbps at Verizon. T-Mobile also leads its rivals in “upload speed experience”: 13.9Mbps, with Verizon at 8.3Mbps and AT&T at 6.6Mbps.

Opensignal’s report also breaks out 5G-only speeds. T-Mobile is fastest at downloads (an average of 226.7Mbps, versus 150.5Mbps at Verizon and 142.1Mbps at AT&T), but Verizon bests it at 5G uploads (21.2Mbps, T-Mobile second at 18.8Mbps and AT&T third at 14.1Mbps). 

And T-Mobile tops Opensignal’s consistency benchmark, which the report says “measures if the network is sufficient to support common mobile application requirements at a level that is ‘good enough’ for users to maintain (or complete) various typical tasks on their devices.” T-Mobile earns a score of 80.6 out of 100, ahead of Verizon’s 79.1 and AT&T’s 76.8.

Those continued high scores reflect how Bellevue, Wash.-based T-Mobile has aggressively deployed the fast, reasonably far-reaching midband 5G it markets as Ultra Capacity 5G. The C-band frequencies AT&T and Verizon use offer similar performance and coverage, but they got a much later start putting them into service.

Verizon, however, wins higher scores in Opensignal’s hybrid metrics assessing video, live video, and gaming experiences on 5G: 70.2 points, 70.9 points, and 82.6 points out of 100. T-Mobile ranks second in those categories (67.9, 68.7, and 77.9) and AT&T is third (65.4, 65.7, and 69.8).

AT&T, meanwhile, edges out its competitors in overall availability—defined as “what proportion of time people have a network connection, in the places they most commonly frequent”—with a score of 99.5 out of 100, just ahead of Verizon’s 99.3 and T-Mobile’s 98.7. 

Finally, Verizon earns the best score for coverage, 9.6 out of 10. AT&T ranks second at 9.1 and T-Mobile is third at 8.7. T-Mobile’s plans to buy much of the towers and frequencies of the regional carrier UScellular—should regulators approve them—could yield improvements to that score. 

T-Mobile was the highest-rated nationwide carrier in PCMag’s most recent Readers’ Choice awards with a score of 8.4 out of 10, but services reselling its network and those of its competitors–Consumer Cellular, Google Fi, the now-T-Mobile-owned Mint Mobile, and Verizon’s Visible–ranked still higher. T-Mobile’s move to jack up rates on older plans could yield a downgrade of that score.

Opensignal collected this survey’s data from March 1 through May 29.
