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 AT&T

AT&T only won nine of our metro areas. Its fastest network technology, called carrier aggregation, requires newer phones than most of the company's customers are using. Its strongest wins were in North Carolina, where the carrier has traditionally ruled the roost.
