As smartphones and network technologies evolve, customer satisfaction with cellular service is on the rise. According to J.D. Power’s recent 2025 US Wireless Network Quality Performance Study, fewer issues have been reported than ever before, indicating that wireless customers are increasingly pleased with their service. This improvement is particularly noteworthy given the shrinking choices in the market for many consumers.
In the latest study, Verizon emerged as the frontrunner, achieving the highest satisfaction scores across four out of six regions. With the fewest reported network problems nationwide, Verizon outshines its competitors. The study, which collected data from over 31,000 wireless customers, not only assessed smartphone satisfaction but also included evaluations of mobile broadband devices and tablets. Conducted from December 2024 to May 2025, it offers a current snapshot of customer contentment.
Interestingly, the report highlights a trend where users are interacting with their devices less often, averaging a decline of six minutes in usage over 48 hours compared to previous years. However, this reduction in usage does not correlate with the fewer complaints; instead, it suggests that mobile carriers are genuinely improving their services, as reflected in the report. Despite Verizon’s leading position, the overall findings indicate a positive direction for all mobile users, as network reliability seems to have improved across the board. As carriers mature and technology advances—particularly with the rollout of 5G—customer satisfaction is likely to continue growing.
While market consolidation might reduce the number of available options, it appears that this has led to more consistent coverage, benefiting all users regardless of their specific carrier choice. With a solid infrastructure, Verizon remains a strong option for those seeking reliable service, even at a higher price point.
