population is nationwide in the common-sense meaning of the word. 2 I don’t think a network covering 60% of the U.S. In general, a wireless network can claim to be nationwide or coast to coast if the provider offers service in diverse regions of the country and the network covers at least 200 million people.Ģ00 million people would make up about 60% of the U.S. NAD noted in its decision that it has applied a consistent standard for ‘coast to coast’ service for the past 10 years. Is GWS using a funky methodology because the company stands to earn more from declaring AT&T the best network than it would earn from declaring Verizon the best network?

Network operators pay evaluators to license their awards. In my view, the extra data points don’t make up for the fact that GWS’s underlying methodology isn’t as good as RootMetrics’ methodology. The claims seem to be based on the large number of data points GWS collects.

In its latest report, GWS boasts about having the largest and most comprehensive assessment of cellular networks. I think this makes GWS biased against Verizon, the network that indisputably leads in coverage. GWS continues to assess about 500 markets rather than the U.S. I previously wrote about my reservations around the methodology GWS used in 2019. AT&T again took the top spot in GWS’s rankings. Global Wireless Solutions (GWS) released its latest report ranking the performance of cellular networks in the U.S. You can see how AT&T values different trade-in phones here. The iPhone 8 and Galaxy S9 are among the oldest phones that are eligible. AT&T values the iPhone 7 and Galaxy S8 at less than $95, so those devices won’t work for the promotion. While $95 doesn’t sound like a lot relative to the iPhone 12’s purchase price of $800, only fairly recent phones make the cut. Further, the eligible trade-in devices are limited. Customers that take advantage of the promotion will still need to pay a $30 activation fee. While the promotion is a great deal, there are two senses in which the iPhone 12 won’t truly be free. Customers must subscribe to one of AT&T’s postpaid, unlimited plans.Customers must be “well-qualified” according to AT&T’s criteria.Customers that cancel service before the 30 installments are complete will be responsible for paying off the remaining cost of the iPhone 12.Ĭustomers wanting to take advantage of the promotion must meet two more conditions:

AT&T is running a big promotion that can make the phone kinda-sorta free for both existing customers and new customers.Ĭustomers that buy the iPhone 12 on a 30-month installment plan and trade-in a phone AT&T values at $95 or more are eligible for 30 monthly bill credits that effectively cancel out the cost of installments. The phone will be available for regular ordering online and in stores on October 23. Here’s a bit I wrote at the time:ĪT&T will be offering the iPhone 12 for pre-order starting on October 16. With these latest upgrades, it looks like AT&T is trying to match what T-Mobile did a few months ago when it dropped the deprioritization threshold on its most premium, consumer-grade plan.

Alternatively, it might be that there used to be a secondary limit (1080p?) that affected customers who opted out of the standard, 480p throttle. It could be that AT&T will no longer require subscribers on the Elite plan to opt out of video throttling. However, Unlimited Elite subscribers could opt out of throttling in their account settings. As I noted in my Unlimited Elite Review, AT&T used to throttle video to about 480p by default.

I’m unsure what’s going on with video resolution.
