    T-Mobile wins for fastest mobile network, while AT&T wins for best fixed internet in Ookla test for the first half of 2025

    Ookla’s latest speed-test report results are in, and they’re liking T-Mobile and AT&T Fiber.

    Per 9to5Mac, wireless carrier T-Mobile tested as this year’s fastest mobile network, offering the speediest downloads overall, and the fastest 5G. For home broadband, AT&T Fiber took the crown.

    Ookla, which produces the ever-handy Speedtest.net app and website, logs the results of the millions of tests run across it, along with the networks used, to create a comprehensive picture of the speeds offered by different fixed and mobile networks. The results are then analyzed and published in the twice-yearly Speedtest Connectivity Reports, which factors in raw speeds as well as measuring streaming video performance specifically, and a range of other indicators of real-life performance.

    As such, T-Mobile took the top scores out of five of the seven categories for the first half of 2025:

    • Fastest
    • Most consistent
    • Highest 5G availability
    • Best gaming experience
    • Top rating for customer satisfaction

    The results showed a median download speed of 245.48 Mbps, and a median 5G download speed of 299.36 Mbps.

    The two categories it didn’t win were instead won by Verizon:

    • Greatest geographical coverage
    • Best streaming video experience

    AT&T Fiber was able to win the best broadband category for fixed internet for the first half of 2025, posting a median download speed of 363.54 Mbps, and a median upload speed of 296.52 Mbps.

    Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
