Verizon reaches insane 953 Mbps download speeds outside the lab, tells T-Mobile 'eat crow'
TMo eats crow. When the verified last place network crows about made up network quality results they pay for. #factsmatter#TMoIndigestionpic.twitter.com/DUkZ2XkG2B

Today’s milestone is a great example of our approach to new technology—we deploy the latest capabilities reliably and in real-world environments, not just in a lab. By continuing to deploy the latest technologies on our 4G LTE Advanced network, we pave the way for better and faster performance for the things our customers do now, and provide the groundwork for our future advancements.
Moreover, even though Verizon managed to pull this off only be engaging all of its network add-ons - cell site, hardware, software and backhaul - on a licensed and unlicensed spectrum combo, and with four carrier aggregation, it still told T-Mobile "eat crow" in the elegant tweet you see above. The Un-carrier has been bragging around with OpenSignal's Q2 awards for speed and reliability, so Verizon now has a nice counter to engage when tests say its average network speed has fallen down since the introduction of unlimited data plans.
