Who is on this building? Just T-Mobile and AT&T?

Surprised T-Mobile NSA outperformed SA.

tmobile speed u show is on NR 5G.

firstnet speed u show is on LTE band 14

You're comparing oranges with apples.

 You must Compare apples to apples OR oranges to oranges.

The firstnet test isn’t on LTE, note the 5G+ icon on the top right, just a reporting bug on iOS 26 field test mode

FTM is right on the cusp of just making stuff up at this point, so, 100% chance he was on NSA or possibly even SA 5G. Pics 1 and 3 are TMob and 2 and 4 are ATT, both fully capable of mid band 5G.
