RootMetrics
? To measure the first independent service for the mobile experience of a consumer? S of view, today announced a new one? Annual Review? to report to explore the countryside and the mobile operator performance in 2011. This report analyzes more than 1.7 million real-world data, calls and text evidence collected from 50 U.S. markets. With this mountain of data, RootMetrics isolated differences in the way in which carrier? Networks conducted an interesting picture of how the vectors during 2011 have measured. With three performance classes, resulted in three very different stories: Verizon’s dominance in the category of data, called the coherency between the beams in terms of performance, and T-Mobile’s leadership in the performance text?.
? During 2011, we published the reports core roots as a way to help answer questions that consumers ask themselves every day? The carrier has the fastest network? Who has the lowest number of missed calls? What to send or receive text the fastest? Said Bill Moore, CEO of RootMetrics. ? As you move right to 4G from everyday life of consumers, continue to live on top of the carrier? Changes and developments in 2012. We have planned many as 150 detailed reports for this year, so stay tuned.?
Domination
Verizon? s in the category of data
Shortly before the beginning of the year 2011 was the first national launch Verizon operator to an LTE network, starting with the head and an aggressive start in 2011, clearly have the lead at the start of the race 4G taken. Verizon? S-speed LTE dominates RootMetrics? 2011 data tests. Verizon? S average speed data were often fast or faster than the speed of other vehicles provided. Verizon has won an incredible 43 of 50 Core Roots Award in the category of performance data. AT & T, the carrier closer, has won only three awards for Roots core data. Even more impressive are the only markets that Verizon has done? T win were those in which LTE has not been installed or RootMetrics was not able to test an LTE-enabled device. LTE, in other words, has lost even more in 2011.
All was not lost on other bases, though. T-Mobile has been shaken as the tests in the second half of 2011, RootMetrics once been able to test its upgraded HSPA network 42nd In October, the first two mobile devices to access the update was available and RootMetrics has seen a significant jump in the T-Mobile? S download speed. Although still drawn Verizon? S-speed LTE with a heavy margin, T-Mobile pulled clear AT & T and Sprint 42 HSPA in their cities. In fact, with their update, they were often recorded nearly two times faster than the speed of AT & T and Sprint, and sometimes much faster than that. RootMetrics? 2011 tests show that 42 HSPA network doesn? T seem to be up to speed LTE, but T-Mobile? S October release of the landscape was much more competitive.
AT & T has shown a marked improvement in the year 2011 progress. Although still far from Verizon, increase their data rates changed over the years as their network by upgrading its HSPA service. AT & T has different consistency with their speed. If the network is a vector? S update is not available, a rate of consumption? S appear as the person is one of the carrier? Infrastructure is older people. AT & T has done in these situations: if RootMetrics was not able to upgrade AT & T network, its infrastructure is more accessible than the results of other legacy carriers. Speed of falling, but not as dramatically.
AT & T has taken some aggressive steps in an attempt to move the market. The carrier? S valiant attempt to acquire T-Mobile, but it collapsed? Wasn t the only movement. At the end of 2011, AT & T launched its first LTE city. This is huge news in the mobile data space. Verizon has won? T more alone. AT & T has now officially entered into the fray LTE. RootMetrics is to test AT & T? Entry into LTE and the first months of 2012, share the results.
have been raised during other airlines jump, sprint behind was tested in many markets RootMetrics. Especially if it was available WiMAX, Sprint? S-Speed slowed dramatically. Your download speeds of 391 kbps on average in New Orleans was recorded by far the slowest speed RootMetrics for any of the national carriers in 2011.
well below 1 Mbps average download speed of 50 cities tested fell into 13 RootMetrics. Verizon was the only other carriers fall under the sign of 1 Mbps, do it twice in the early phases of the study, in the cities, the non-LTE at the time were. In contrast, many of the cities sprint slower? S came from the second half of the RootMetrics? Examination. Were aggressive in a time when other companies implementing upgrades to more people and push their changes to overcome the major markets, RootMetrics found large gaps in the sprint? S ability to offer WiMAX in the same cities. At the end of 2011, are well behind in the race to 4G speeds.
Consistency in appearance
called
2011 was a great year for all four major operators in assessing the performance of call. In general, each of the bearing was in good RootMetrics? call tests, with only a small gap between the best and the worst performance in a market. Accordingly, the equality, the result was so close that in 40 of 50 markets, RootMetrics able to declare a winner was Roots Core for the call.
the gap between the performance so closely, called the consumer? Choice for the service is probably less support? s conduct overall performance compared to each a specific location. People can RootMetrics? Map coverage free app to drill down and compare the four major carriers, where it most your phone number, the results all the way down to street level match.
sweeping the category text
RootMetrics Similar to the observed differences in the performance data, a major gap in how carriers was performed in the tests of the text. How true that Verizon has dominated the category of data, T-Mobile has beaten the competition in the category of text. They won the RootMetrics Roots Core on SMS in a huge 44-50 markets to send.
As
RootMetrics seen steady improvement in AT & T? s performance data, it has also to improve AT & T throughout the year, the examinations of the text. Sharing or earn honors seven times in real terms, were the only carrier besides T-Mobile price for Roots CoreText win. With a strong end of 2011, AT & T has set the basis for continuing close race SMS with T-Mobile in 2012.
Verizon and Sprint were stable, but unspectacular performer in the category of SMS. Their average speed of text remained relatively close in the course of 2011, our test. Sprint fell, however, when comparing the time needed to print some text to a cell phone into a vector available? S system. You were always the slowest carrier of this measure, the other carriers who often end with a wide margin.
highest combined
With his dominating performance in the category of data and projection consistently strong call Verizon can easily overcome the other carrier Roots core price? Category combined. With the large gap created by LTE, Verizon seemed as if he was playing on a completely different area than the other carriers.
Note however, that Verizon? impressive advantage is created in a single year. This time last year, Verizon? S LTE was in its initial implementation. Add Through the addition of other carriers or is now preparing to LTE, this advantage may disappear just as quickly. This is the true story from 2011 for the consumer to remove. The mobile space is one of rapid change and performance on the go constantly as carriers upgrade their networks
