T-Mobile 5G home internet versus Verizon 5G home internet I've spent the past few months testing
them out and today I'm going to talk about which one is best and I'll share the results of new
side-by-side speed tests first let's talk about the big picture and the reason why I signed up for
these services in the first place you guessed it it's the price 5G home internet from Verizon and
T-Mobile starts at 50 bucks a month at the time of this recording but some Wireless customers
they pay less a whole lot less plus there's no contracts no data caps and equipment is included
my testing hasn't really focused on whether these services are better than fiber or cable internet
because in many cases they're just not but as you're about to see in the speed test results
for a lot of people T-Mobile and Verizon's 5G home internet services may offer reliable internet at a
more affordable price than anyone else to make my point I ran speed tests for both services at the
top of the hour for 10 hours in a row recording the download speeds upload speeds and ping and
during this testing a similar pattern emerged that I've noticed over the past few months some
explained that as we dive into the results let's get started for my testing Verizon home internet's
average download speed was nearly 200 megabits per second almost twice as fast as T-Mobile's average
now these averages both were within the ranges that Verizon and T-Mobile advertise at recording
time and they're more than adequate for streaming video and browsing the web however you're going
to notice that T-Mobile service slowed down later in the day now during congestion you need to know
that T-Mobile says it does prioritize its Wireless subscribers over home internet users this has
rarely been a problem for me but deprioritization it has temporarily affected my experience a few
times and these slowdowns all happen late at night or early in the morning so far I haven't
had any extreme slowdowns you using Verizon's 5G home internet now if you upload large files
to the internet you're probably going to notice a difference with these 5G home internet services
and we're talking about upload speeds now from my testing of Verizon and T-Mobile Services upload
speeds they are much slower than download speeds you can expect upload speeds around 10 megabits
per second maybe a little bit higher now I had a t fiber before I began testing Verizon and T-Mobile
Services fiber offers a symmetrical internet connection so your download and upload speeds are
the same and really that's a huge Plus for Content creators like me who upload files to YouTube and
other platforms just something to be aware of before you sign up for 5G home internet reviews
from Gamers who've tried Verizon and T-Mobile's 5G home internet well they've been really mixed and
a lot of times that has to do with the ping rate if you're not familiar in this case a lower ping
which is measured in milliseconds that's best to avoid latency or or lag when you're gaming and for
my testing Verizon averaged about 30 milliseconds and T-Mobile averaged over 40 milliseconds now
these numbers they're really not that bad but when I used a t fiber the ping rate was usually
less than 20 milliseconds remember the lower the number the better for a ping so for heavy Gamers
I would recommend fiber internet if you can get it so here's the way I see it Verizon and T-Mobile's
5G home internet services they're bringing a lot of much needed competition to the marketplace and
the other internet providers are having to offer better deals in response and based on
my experience with both Services over several months I'm going to give the slight advantage
to Verizon 5G home internet but I still think T-Mobile home internet will work for a lot of
people I see Verizon and T-Mobile Services as good options for Price sensitive customers who
are just tired of all the pricing games that other internet providers play with their customers and
if you found this video helpful please please give it a like I pay out of pocket for all the
products and services that I test so I can provide reviews that you can actually trust
