A smartphone broadband survey conducted by Wired.com found that AT&T customers reported the slowest average 3G network speeds, while Verizon subscribers posted the speediest results. Verizon topped all carriers with an average download speed of 1,940 kbps, while T-Mobile ranked second with 1,793 kbps. Sprint came in third with 1,598 kbps while AT&T offered an average downstream speed of just 901 kbps. Wired says the survey included 15,000 participants — 12,000 of whom reported valid, usable results. The results aren't particularly scientific, given there were 8,153 AT&T users tested to Verizon's 856 -- AT&T's average weighed down by some of its notoriously more clunky 3G markets -- like New York City.
