Ookla, a global leader in network intelligence and connectivity insights, today shared its first-ever Prepaid Wireless Speedtest® Connectivity Report, which analyzes the network performance of prepaid brands. It’s no surprise that Metro is the fastest prepaid wireless brand in the country — even beating out Verizon and AT&T, according to Ookla’s 1H 2024 report — and tied for the most consistent network experience.

This means the following for Metro:


  • Fastest 5G Prepaid Network: If you thought the above was fast, hold on to your hats, because 5G is even faster.

    With median download speeds of 217 Mbps, everything from mobile gaming, downloading 4K content, video calls and more will be faster than ever thanks to Metro’s blazing-fast 5G speeds.


  • Most consistent (tie): According to Ookla, the higher the score, the more likely customers are to experience acceptable network performance and quality in key areas.

Ookla also looked at prepaid network speeds in the six largest metro areas in the U.S. Get ready to paint these cities purple, because Metro on T-Mobile’s 5G network wins them all.

Ookla’s report highlights prepaid brands that offer unlimited value plans, including Cricket and Boost, and Metro. The outside experts also included Visible by Verizon to understand how Verizon’s prepaid services are performing, since its unlimited prepaid brands — Total Wireless and Straight Talk — can’t be segmented from its overall customer base.

Metro is the prepaid carrier that brings wireless without the gotcha. Metro recently launched Metro Flex, solving one of the biggest problems in wireless. With Metro Flex, customers get free phones when they join and the same great deals as new customers on a wide selection of devices when they stay — making Metro the only prepaid brand with a plan that gives people new customer vibes every time. Metro customers get access to T-Mobile’s industry-leading 5G network with unlimited talk and text, unlimited 5G smartphone data, and benefits they love at no extra cost. Metro Flex customers can enjoy benefits like Scam Shield, Google One 100GB, and free stuff and deals every week through T-Mobile Tuesdays on all Flex plans. Customers get an experience full of value and benefits they can brag about.
