DALLAS, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Just In! AT&T* has the fastest nationwide 5G network for Q3 2020.¹ This comes on the heels of the 7^th quarter in a row that we've also won overall fastest wireless network² in the nation and fastest wireless network for iPhones³ in Q3 2020, according to the latest results from Ookla® Speedtest®.

Speed matters when it comes to your wireless network. Having fast speeds is important whether you're downloading your favorite HBO Max show to watch, streaming your favorite music or browsing the internet while at home or on-the-go.

AT&T's fastest wireless network wins are based on consumer-led nationwide test results that come from millions of real people that take tests daily on the Ookla Speedtest application.
