Ookla also uses this information to conduct wireless speed tests. Today, Ookla released the results of its first Prepaid Wireless Speedtest Connectivity Report that showed T-Mobile‘s Metro was the fastest prepaid wireless provider in the U.S. during the first half of 2024 with an average 197.49 Mbps data speed. Boost was next among prepaid providers with an average download data speed of 144.14 Mbps. Verizon‘s Visible was third with an average download data speed of 101.32 Mbps while the 95.25 average download data speed achieved by AT&T’s Cricket was fourth among prepaid providers.

Metro was also the fastest 5G prepaid provider with an average 5G download data speed of 217Mbps. If you have a 5G phone, you’ll be able to employ the zippier speeds to enjoy faster mobile gaming, video chats, and more. Ookla also said that Metro had the fastest 5G download data speeds in the six largest metropolitan areas across the U.S. The report also says that Metro was tied for first in the category measuring the most consistent signal from a prepaid firm. What does that mean? It means that Metro customers can access the high quality and performance of Metro’s signal wherever they are.
T-Mobile is not a stranger to topping postpaid wireless speed tests and now its prepaid Metro brand proves that it is part of the family.
