Report: T-Mobile Now Has the Best Wireless Network

Verizon (NYSE: VZ) has built its business on charging more for its wireless service because it offers the best network.

That's a claim that has generally been proven by third-party research including the company coming in first on the recent RootMetrics Mobile Performance in the United States report. Verizon has taken top honors with RootMetrics eight straight times on the twice-annual report, something the company has celebrated in television commercials.

A second widely accepted independent report from OpenSignal, however, has shown somewhat different results. In the February version of the company's State of Mobile Networks study, Verizon and T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) were in a virtual tie, with each scoring first place in four of the eight overall categories.
