T-Mobile executive says it is the only carrier able to deliver standalone 5G over all bands

Third social gathering analysis agrees with T-Mobile about the inefficiency of Verizon’s DSS low-band 5G indicators

As quickly as Verizon launched its nationwide 5G service fueled by DSS, the carrier went from having the quickest median 5G speeds amongst the three main U.S. carriers to having the slowest. T-Mobile president of expertise Neville Ray lately took Verizon to process for claiming to have “5G Built Right” although its prospects can entry an Ultra Wideband sign simply .6% of the time. Again, that protection is due to the proven fact that mmWave indicators, which Verizon has centered on, are restricted when it comes to distance traveled. So did Verizon actually construct its 5G community proper?  Signals Research Group would not assume so. In a current report on 5G, Signals wrote, “T-Mobile has been very vocal about the challenges of DSS and the results of our study largely support their view.”

The report additionally calls Verizon’s DSS “inefficient.” Signal’s Mike Thelander stated, “Although DSS is a cool technology that negates the need for unused spectrum, DSS results in much lower spectral efficiency than LTE or 5G NR [New Radio] by itself….This inefficiency hurts 5G NR and LTE performance.”

T-Mobile’s Ray says that it has the successful 5G technique as a result of the wi-fi supplier is the only one delivering 5G protection and pace. The executive says, “Our goal is to build 5G the right way and do right by our customers. And from what I’ve seen, that isn’t as true for our competitors. From AT&T’s misleading ‘5G E’ that wasn’t even real 5G to Verizon claiming they have ‘5G Built Right’, it’s time to shed some light on the truth. Namely, Verizon. Verizon customers are getting a raw deal paying big bucks for a heavily marketed “Ultra Wideband” mmWave service that’s almost impossible to find and outside of that, a tiny nationwide footprint with speeds only comparable to LTE. Verizon spent two years building 5G with mmWave, and coverage is still available just 0.6% of the time, according to Ookla. But that hasn’t stopped Verizon from breathlessly claiming they have “5G Built Right.” It also hasn’t stopped them from saying “World’s Fastest 5G” when they aren’t even the fastest here in America anymore based on our analysis of independent, third party data.”
