IMVAIO, it's not a good analogy.
Olympic contests that are races have a winner based on a single
criteria, speed. Speed is all that matters, and a fraction of a second
difference in speed matters.
For mobile networks, there are multiple factors that determine the
"best" network. Speed, above a certain minimum threshold, is not a
factor that many people use in the selection of a carrier because they
would not be able to detect a difference in most cases.
What matters to most people is price and coverage. The subsidies on new
phones are also often a consideration. There are some other
considerations as well, like international roaming cost and
availability, freebies like Netflix, Spotify, Apple Music, Hulu, etc.,
and on T-Mobile free or discounted fast food items on Tuesdays, i.e.
this week you get $1 off a purchase at Dunkin', while in the past you
could get a free Taco Bell taco, or a free Burger King Whopper.
Read the report at
which gives a comprehensive evaluation of the U.S. carriers.
