Opensignal is the independent global standard for analyzing consumer mobile experience. Our industry reports are the definitive guide to understanding the true experience consumers receive on wireless networks.
Vodafone kept our 4G Availability award, increasing its score by 2 percentage points to fall just shy of the 90% mark. But Yoigo saw a similar boost, while both Movistar and Orange increased their 4G Availability by around 4 percentage points — meaning there is now barely 2 points separating all four operators. As well as putting pressure on Vodafone's lead, these scores attest to the advanced maturity of Spain's mobile networks, as all of its operators are approaching the 90% 4G Availability mark.
Movistar kept our Download Speed Experience award, with our users on its network seeing an increase in average speed by over 2 Mbps, as it becomes Spain's first operator to pass the 30 Mbps milestone. But Orange truly felt the need for speed, powering into second place with its users seeing an increase of close to 7 Mbps since our last report.
Spain's operators all managed to increase their Video Experience scores, meaning all four have now gained Very Good ratings (falling in the range of 65-75 out of 100). This means our users enjoy mobile video streaming with very little delay in load time or stuttering, even at higher resolutions. Movistar kept our Video Experience award, but both Orange and Yoigo saw greater score increases, and all four operators are now neck-and-neck in this metric.
Vodafone held onto our Upload Speed Experience award, with a score just shy of the 10 Mbps mark. But Movistar is breathing down the leader's neck, with a score just 0.6 Mbps slower. Orange and Yoigo were some way behind the top two, as our users on their networks saw Upload Speed Experience scores under 8 Mbps.
A quick glance at our awards table would suggest little has changed in mobile network experience in Spain since our last report. Vodafone won the same three awards: 4G Availability, Upload Speed and Latency Experience, while Movistar kept Download Speed and Video Experience. But this doesn’t mean we saw no change in our scores. The Spanish mobile market is showing signs of advanced maturity, as 4G Availability approaches 90% and all four operators now provide a Very Good Video Experience. In addition, one operator has passed the 30 Mbps mark in Download Speed Experience. This report examines the 90-day period from the start of March 2019 to see how Spain's four main operators — Movistar, Orange, Vodafone and Yoigo — match up across our key metrics.
