“Efforts by wireless carriers to communicate the rollout and benefits of 5G have not gone unnoticed, as most customers are now aware,” said Ian Greenblatt, managing director at J.D. Power. “Now, the new task is to switch more customers to 5G-capable devices to ensure improved network reliability experiences. This should go a long way to improve wireless network quality satisfaction and, therefore, customer retention.”

Study Rankings

Verizon Wireless ranks highest in the Mid-Atlantic, North Central, Northeast, Southeast and West regions, achieving the lowest network quality problems per 100 connections (PP100) in call quality, messaging quality and data quality in each region. Verizon Wireless and AT&T rank highest in a tie in the Southwest region.

The 2022 U.S. Wireless Network Quality Performance Study—Volume 1 is based on responses from 28,041 wireless customers. Carrier performance is examined in six regions: Mid-Atlantic, North Central, Northeast, Southeast, Southwest and West. In addition to evaluating the network quality experienced by customers with wireless phones, the study also measures the network performance of tablets and mobile broadband devices.
