Global Mobile Network Experience 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’ve chosen to publish the awards again. In this report we’ve expanded the scope of our analysis, so for the first time we’re also assessing our users’ multiplayer mobile Games Experience globally on different operators.
