T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon: Analysts Pick Who Has the Fastest Speeds at Theme Parks

Opensignal has published data on the fastest mobile connections at the biggest US theme parks, including Disneyland, Disney World and Universal Studios.

Mobile speeds at the most visited theme parks in the US are more than 50% faster than average mobile speeds, an Opensignal report says.

Clocking the speeds of mobile devices in the most-visited theme parks across the country, mobile analytics company Opensignal said upload speeds are also «substantially faster» in a report published June 15.

«Faster than the national average download speeds around theme parks are an impressive achievement when taking into consideration how many guests visit them, which is likely to lead to network congestion,» the report said.

While the parks do offer Wi-Fi, Opensignal found users are spending less than 20% of their time actually connected to it.
