Fastest ISP Grande Communications
Grande recently started extending gigabit fiber service to parts of Austin and San Antonio, and while gigabit competition in Austin is hot, Grande is the only fiber player in San Antonio. That makes it by far the fastest ISP for downloads - at least, until AT&T U-Verse with Gigapower arrives, which may happen soon.
| 1. | Grande Communications | 79.06 | / | 15.29 | Mbps |
| 2. | Time Warner Cable | 50.77 | / | 5.61 | Mbps |
| 3. | AT&T U-verse | 21.24 | / | 4.45 | Mbps |
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 | 12.39 | / | 4.72 | Mbps |
| 2. | AT&T | 11.66 | / | 7.00 | Mbps |
| 3. | T-Mobile | 9.71 | / | 7.09 | Mbps |
| 4. | Sprint | 4.06 | / | 2.25 | Mbps |
