Fastest ISP Time Warner Cable
Time Warner Cable made some major network upgrades in 2014, tripling its top Internet speeds in some markets from a 100Mbps download tier to 300Mbps. As with all the major cable ISPs, this high-speed coverage is very uneven, but it's clearly the way the industry is going - especially in places where TWC sees competitors like RCN and FiOS able to steal customers. TWC is also now trying to merge with competitors Charter and Bright House.

Fastest Mobile Network Verizon Wireless
Verizon Wireless is America's LTE network king. An excellent nationwide buildout, broad swathes of 1700Mhz "XLTE" spectrum, and broad support for that spectrum across its phones meant that Verizon won more of our tested metro areas than any other.
| 1. | Verizon Wireless | 15.76 | / | 8.33 | Mbps |
| 2. | AT&T | 15.33 | / | 5.28 | Mbps |
