Weekly output: RootMetrics wireless network report

DOHA, Qatar–Between two daylong conferences in D.C. Thursday and Friday, scrambling to finish up some longer posts so I could put them on a January invoice instead of waiting yet another month, and getting ready to fly almost 7,000 miles here for Web Summit Qatar, I only had one post appear under my byline this week.

Patreon readers, however, got one extra post from me: my annual look into my income sources for the previous year.

1/26/2026: Verizon Has Slight Edge Over AT&T, T-Mobile, Except in One Key Category, PCMag

I’ve been covering RootMetrics’ nationwide testing of wireless carriers for years, but this was the first time I could quiz my former Light Reading editor Mike Dano for a story about them. He moved from that trade pub to become an analyst for RootMetrics’ parent firm Ookla last year, and I could see Mike’s knowledge of the business show up in the new RootMetrics report’s detailed breakdown of network infrastructure progress at AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.
