Fastest Mobile Network In America? ATT -- June 22, 2019

AT&T is the fastest mobile network in the United States according to PCMag's latest annual mobile network comparison, which was released this morning. 

For the test, PCMag employees drove through 30 cities and 25 states across the U.S. and ran more than 60,000 mobile speed tests to determine the speediest mobile network. The tests were conducted using Samsung Galaxy S10 devices on networks from AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint. 

This year, AT&T edged out Verizon, the winner for the past five years, thanks to AT&T's focus on improving its LTE network in preparation for 5G technology. While all four networks improved overall on both speed and reliability compared to last year, AT&T improved a bit more than the others. 

Overall scores:

• ATT: 97
• Verizon: 94
• T-Mobile: 91
• Sprint: 82

I Was Unaware Google Even Made Tablets

Google will quit making tablets. 

iPad for as little as $249 on Amazon. Impossible to compete. But it is interesting: despite the increasing sizes of smart phones, it appears the Apple iPads are still in high demand. The only reason I have not upgraded to a new iPad: I can't decide what size to get. And the iPad Gen 2 seems to do everything I need it to do. It was first released in March, 2011, and still holds up well for those of us with limited needs for a tablet.

Maybe Christmas.
