GWS\u2019 OneScore ranking determination is based on a combination of real-world mobile network performance measurements and feedback from consumers on what they want from their network. It factors in both controlled, scientific testing of the U.S.\u2019s major networks as well as consumer research (i.e., research that explores sentiment, and pinpoints performance factors and features most important to consumers). As a result, OneScore delivers the industry\u2019s most comprehensive evaluation of mobile networks.<\/p>\r\n

GWS CEO, Dr. Paul Carter, commented:<\/strong> \u201cUScellular\u2019s wins in multiple mid-sized and smaller markets across the U.S. demonstrates their dedication to providing top-performing, reliable wireless service to all consumers regardless of their location. While the larger metropolitan and densely populated markets typically attract the most attention from operators, UScellular\u2019s focus and ability to overcome the challenges of investing in and building out modern networks for smaller customer bases while providing the best service is a notable accomplishment.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

Evaluation Criteria\u202f<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

GWS Best Network OneScore takes into account voice, data, video, coverage, and reliability metrics, and combines them into a single score that highlights the overall performance of each network. In addition, the importance of each metric is weighted based on feedback from consumers across the U.S.; feedback that focuses on those elements of network performance that matter most to everyday people. Similarly, GWS Most Reliable Network OneScore considers both voice and data reliability tests in combination with research into those factors that matter most to consumers in terms of consistent, stable performance.<\/p>\r\n

Methodology<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

GWS conducted competitive benchmark testing in markets located in Illinois, Iowa, Tennessee, Washington, and Wisconsin between March and November 2023. In particular, nearly 300,000 tests were conducted across these markets to evaluate the mobile network performance of AT&T, T-Mobile, UScellular, and Verizon. Testing was conducted using Rohde & Schwarz SmartBenchmarker test equipment, Samsung Galaxy mobile devices, and GWS MobiStat data evaluation and reporting platform.<\/p>\r\n

In addition, GWS\u2019s performance evaluation also takes into account consumer survey results. The survey focused on consumer behavior and expectations and was conducted using GWS\u2019 U.S. consumer panel. The total sample size was just over 10,000 adults (ages 18 and older) with fieldwork undertaken during June 2023. The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of adult U.S. consumers with active mobile devices.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
