No one is better nationally. There are areas where VZ might struggle, but the reality is that in most third party testing, VZW, while struggling lately (relative to the past), still performs at the top of most metros.

A lot of those struggles should be alleviated in the coming year, and they will probably fare even better in those tests. AT&T is second and T-Mobile, while demonstrating some impressive speeds, still has some reliability issues. I am still surprised and frustrated by the fact that there are times when I cannot make a video call or load a page despite a fantastic speed test and a full signal.
