Drako's Wireless Review - 2019
So its a new year and I felt the need to actually write this one out.
-Coverage-
This years winners on coverage are T-Mobile and Verizon, but only because they actually posted exactly how many people are covered by their network.
(AT&T also covers 99% of Americans, but AT&T only boasts the 99%, without the actual coverage numbers, so we had to guestimate.)
So I will say they are all tied, with T-Mobile and Verizon only a fraction ahead for showing actual numbers.
Which puts Sprint in Second Place, covering over 300 Million Americans (91% of the Population) as of the latest info we could find (dated in 2016).
-Customers-
This years winner for customer base is AT&T, boasting 162 Million
Verizon is in second place with their 118 Million customers.
T-Mobile is in 3rd place with their 83 Millions Customers.
Sprint again is trailing behind, only 54 Million Customers.
-Technology-
This is where T-Mobile is king.
For several years, Magenta has been leading the way in how many different technologies they use for their network.
-Plans-
The winner for Cheapest Unlimited Plan goes to a brand new player in the game:
