And the winners are...
Opensignal Co-founder and CEO, Brendan Gill announces our 2021 Global Mobile Network Experience Award Winners.

Opensignal Global Awards 2021

Last year, to celebrate Opensignal’s 10th anniversary we ranked the world’s operators using our leading measures of the real-world mobile network experience. It was so well received that we decided to publish the awards again in 2021.

We’ve kept a similar format as last year, recognizing excellence in mobile network experience by awarding Global Winners, Global Leaders and Global High Performers. These awards highlight the fruits of many years of cumulative effort and network investment. This year, we’ve expanded the scope, and for the first time we’re also assessing our users’ multiplayer mobile Games Experience globally.

We have once again awarded ‘Rising Stars’ to the top 30 mobile operators around the world on whose networks our users have seen the greatest improvement in their mobile network experience in the last year.

Download the report below to reveal all our 2021 winners and read the detailed analysis.
