Utahs Silicon Slopes is known as a hotbed for technological companies and entrepreneurial growth. In these connected cities, mobile performance demands are high. New findings from RootMetrics by IHS Markit, the standard for mobile performance benchmarking, show that carriers in Salt Lake City, Provo and Ogden are continuing to improve, with a clear trend toward faster median data speeds and improving reliability.
While AT&T and Verizon shared the Overall Performance RootScore Award in each of the three cities, all carriers showed impressive improvements in Utahs biggest metro areas.
Our data performance testing provides a thorough assessment of how mobile networks are improving across different cities and what it means for a consumers smartphone experience in states like Utah, said Doug King, director of business development at RootMetrics. With impressive data speed jumps across the board, carriers are working to ensure consumers in Utah will have a smooth, high-speed mobile experience. This is great news for residents of these three cities, but also for the growing economy as more businesses and tech companies settle into burgeoning areas like Salt Lake City.
