Here’s a 4G LTE speed test of AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon in Manhattan, New York.
If you are thinking about switching carriers, here’s my recommendation and thoughts on the best network in New York City:
T-Mobile – Best overall speeds/value especially if you can get their unlimited plan. I am paying $100/month for 2 lines unlimited.
Verizon – Best overall speeds, if it is mission critical and you travel often for business, Verizon is going to give you the best coverage all over the U.S. But Verizon can cost more than others.
AT&T – Not bad but T-Mobile or Verizon would be better if you live in New York City.
Sprint – Sprint is spotty, it’s hit or miss in New York City or San Francisco. Too many promises and under-delivers. Avoid them if you can.
