Sprint more reliable network than Verizon and AT&T

By: Peter Chubb | July 10, 2009

With the choice of cellular carriers in the U.S., one always offers something better than the other and it is just that which makes for great competition. According to HotHardware, PC World has conducted a recent test, something that Sprint can be happy about. It was found that out of the top three carriers in the U.S. Sprint, Verizon and AT&T, Sprint was found to be the more reliable network.

If these tests are correct, then it backs up Sprint’s claims of having the “most dependable 3G network.” The test that PC World conducted took place in March and April was tested in the 13 top markets in the United States, some of which include New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.

The test involved measurements of download and upload speeds, as well as testing the reliability in each of the 13 markets. In every one of the 13 markets, Sprint beat AT&T when it came to reliability, and in 90.5% of the time, Sprint had a stronger connection that Verizon.

In Boston, Denver, and Seattle, Sprint had perfect scores when it came to connection tests. Things are set to get even better for Sprint, as they are leading the way with 4G, the next-generation of mobile broadband.
