**Quick answer — T-Mobile vs AT&T vs Verizon proxies: which carrier should I pick?**

For T-Mobile vs AT&T vs Verizon proxies, pick T-Mobile for 5G speed, AT&T for unbroken sessions and Verizon for coverage and mobile video. Ookla's H1 2026 results ranked T-Mobile fastest and Verizon best for coverage; Opensignal put AT&T first for time on network, at 99.6%. **FiftyStateProxy** rents all three as dedicated 4G/5G ports at one price, from $3.75/day. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Pay in crypto.

Published by FiftyStateProxy, which rents dedicated ports on all three carriers.

## Which carrier is best for each use case?

The best carrier depends on the job, because each network leads on a different measure. Verdicts by use case:

- **Fast 5G work, such as heavy mobile pages or app QA:** T-Mobile, the 5G speed winner in Ookla's H1 2026 results. See the [T-Mobile proxy](https://fiftystateproxy.com/us-mobile-proxies/t-mobile/ "Dedicated T-Mobile 5G mobile port").
- **Long sessions on accounts you or your clients own:** AT&T, with the highest time on network (99.6%). See the [AT&T proxy](https://fiftystateproxy.com/us-mobile-proxies/att/ "Dedicated AT&T 4G/5G mobile port").
- **Mobile video and video ad checks:** Verizon, leader of Opensignal's 5G Video and 5G Live Video. See the [Verizon proxy](https://fiftystateproxy.com/us-mobile-proxies/verizon/ "Dedicated Verizon 4G/5G mobile port").
- **Places with weak signal:** Verizon, best for coverage in Ookla's H1 2026 results.
- **Wide 5G availability:** T-Mobile, leader of Opensignal's 5G Availability.
- **Seeing a site as Mint, Cricket or Visible users see it:** the host carrier of that MVNO.
- **Lowest cost:** any of the three, since the price is the same.

## Does the carrier change the price of a port?

No. At FiftyStateProxy, every carrier shares one grid: $3.75 a day, $15 a week, $45 for 30 days (October 2026). **The carrier never changes the bill: our 9 US port options, 3 carriers times 3 lengths, come down to just 3 prices.** Carrier choice is limited only by stock. Dedicated ports are subject to stock per country and carrier; the checkout lists the carriers in stock. If we cannot deliver your port within 24 hours, its full price goes back to your balance. To compare these prices with other providers, see the [best US mobile proxies](https://fiftystateproxy.com/best-us-mobile-proxies/ "Best US mobile proxy providers ranked").

### One price grid for all three carriers

| Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| US · 1 day | 1 port · 1 day | $3.75 | $3.75/day |
| US · 7 days | 1 port · 7 days | $15 | $2.14/day |
| US · 30 days | 1 port · 30 days | $45 | $1.50/day |

In every plan: Carriers (US): T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon · Data: Unlimited on a dedicated port, under fair use · IP rotation: Link or API; timer on 7-day and 30-day ports

**Before you pay**

- Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance.
- Unused balance stays on your account and never expires. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it.
- Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min

## Which carrier has the best 5G in 2026?

T-Mobile has the best 5G on speed and reach in 2026. Ookla measured a 314.38 Mbps median 5G download on T-Mobile in H1 2026. Opensignal gave T-Mobile 5G Availability and 5G Coverage Experience, with 8.3 out of 10. Verizon wins one 5G angle: it led Opensignal's 5G Video and 5G Live Video scores. **On paper, T-Mobile is the 5G pick and Verizon the 5G video pick; AT&T is the pick for staying connected.**

## How can I tell which carrier an exit IP belongs to?

Look up the IP's ASN in any IP lookup tool and match it to the carrier. AS21928 is T-Mobile USA, AS20057 is AT&T Mobility, and AS22394 or AS6167 is Verizon, shown as "Cellco". Verizon's two mobile ASNs announce about 3.7 times more IPv4 addresses than T-Mobile's AS21928, per Hurricane Electric. Address counts are not subscriber counts: T-Mobile carries much of its traffic over IPv6 with 464XLAT.

Mobile carriers share public IPv4 addresses among many subscribers through carrier-grade NAT, using the shared space RFC 6598 reserves. That is why websites treat carrier IPs with care: one block can hit many real users.

## Does IP rotation work the same on every carrier?

Yes. Every FiftyStateProxy port, whatever the carrier, changes IP the same way. New IP on demand by rotation link or API call, at most once every 30 seconds. On 7-day and 30-day ports, you can also set an automatic rotation timer, from every 2 minutes to every 24 hours. Otherwise your port keeps its IP until you rotate it, although the carrier can change it on its own from time to time. Each rotation reconnects your port to the carrier and usually takes 5–15 seconds; the carrier may occasionally hand back the same IP: just rotate again. More on ports, rotating mobile traffic and carriers is on the [US mobile proxies](https://fiftystateproxy.com/us-mobile-proxies/ "US mobile proxies on T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon") page.
