In the latest report by RootMetrics, which measures mobile performance, ATT came out ahead of Verizon for overall data speeds and beat Verizon for how fast consumers can download their emails and other data. Verizon was quicker when it came to uploading data.

The report found that Sprint had the worst data speeds. In 61 percent to 76 percent of its tests, Sprint recorded download and upload speeds below 1.5 Mbps. Conversely, ATT, T-Mobile and Verizon recorded download speeds of 5 Mbps in almost 70 percent of its tests.

Meanwhile, Verizon dropped the smallest percentage of calls (less than 1 percent) and Metro PCS dropped the most. Verizon was also the fastest in sending text messages. Sprint was the slowest.

The combined scores of each of the top five carriers measured: Verizon 92; ATT 90; T-Mobile 70; MetroPCS 56; Sprint 49.
