Verizon’s 4G LTE Network Is Faster, Much Faster Than Sprint’s 3G Network

I reside in Newport Beach and am subscribed to Sprint’s wireless services.  I had a friend over who is subscribed to Verizon’s wireless services.  We both have iPhone 5’s.  We ran a speed test using the relatively bandwidth-heavy site that is Youtube.

The test was conducted as follows:

  1. Enter “Youtube” in google and hit “search” – Verizon blew Sprint out of the water on this by returning search results twice as quickly.
  2. Click the first video on the Youtube homepage on both phones simultaneously – not only did Verizon load the video almost 5 times faster than Sprint, but Verizon loaded the High Definition version whereas Sprint loaded a low-quality version in order to be able to stream the video.

This simple, yet straightforward test showed that Verizon’s 4G LTE network blows Sprint’s 3G network out of the water.  One could argue that the Sprint signal I was receiving was poor in the specific location in which I attempted the test.  However, throughout the day, we ran the test in different locations through Newport Beach and Verizon was King.

That said, I returned my iPhone 5 to Sprint, and will be subscribing with Verizon.  After 10 years as a Sprint customer this was a painful switch, but a necessary one.
