An anonymous reader writes: Speed isn’t everything, or is it? According to a report from Ars Technica, the National Advertising Division (NAD) says T-Mobile should stop claiming that is has “America’s Best Unlimited Network” because it needs to prove it also has the widest geographic coverage and best reliability. T-Mobile is saying that speed outweighs all other factors.
“T-Mobile’s claim is based on data from Ookla and OpenSignal, which offer speed-testing apps that let consumers test their wireless data speeds,” reports Ars Technica. “Both Ookla and OpenSignal have issued reports saying that T-Mobile’s speeds were higher than Verizon’s, AT&T’s, and Sprint’s. The OpenSignal tests also gave T-Mobile an edge over rivals in latency and 4G signal availability.” T-Mobile “did not provide evidence that its network is superior in providing talk and text mobile services or in providing high-speed data more reliably or to a greater coverage area,” the industry group’s announcement said.
