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.
In Opensignal's measure of the mobile multiplayer gaming experience, Telekom leads the competition by almost five points on a 100point scale. Orange and O2 tie for second with scores of 75.7 and 74.8 respectively, while 4ka scores 70.3. Games Experience analyzes how the multiplayer experience of genres that include games such as Fortnite, Arena of Valor and PUBG is affected by mobile network conditions. We measure network characteristics including latency, packet loss and jitter to determine the impact on gameplay and the overall multiplayer Games Experience.
With average download speeds of 41.1 Mbps, our users on Orange saw the fastest speed in Slovakia ahead of second placed Telekom, which scored 35 Mbps. Users on both of these leading operators experienced speeds over twice as fast as those on fourth placed 4ka (14.1 Mbps) and very significantly ahead of our users connecting with third placed O2 (21.5 Mbps).
The scores are very close between all four operators in Opensignal's measure of the experience of using over-the-top voice over IP applications such as WhatsApp, Skype and Facetime. Telekom led with a score of 83.5, slightly ahead of Orange on 82.1, O2's 81.2 and 4ka on 80.4 which are statistically tied in second place on our 100 point scale.
Mobile video streaming is closely fought, with three operators in a statistical tie and jointly winning the award. Our users on 4ka saw a slightly worse experience. Video Experience quantifies the quality of mobile video experienced by Opensignal users on real-world video streams using an ITU-based approach to convert technical characteristics of the video test into a measure of perceived video experience.
Orange and Telekom win the Upload Speed Experience award with scores of 10.3 Mbps and 9.6 Mbps respectively. 4ka and O2 also tie with scores approximately 25% slower than the leaders, or 7.3 Mbps and 7.5 Mbps respectively, meaning users connecting with those operators will take longer to share photos on social media or send large email attachments using their smartphone and a mobile connection.
In Opensignal's first report on Slovakia we have analyze the experience of smartphone users on the four national mobile operators across a range of measures. While speed is the most visible measure, it's important to consider the applications mobile users enjoy — from multiplayer gaming, to watching video streams or communicating — because we see different operators winning each award, depending on the category.
With 5G now arriving in Slovakia, we include 5G measurements alongside older 4G and 3G technologies in our overall scores. We have compared the 5G experience globally, and this latest generation offers the promise of a big leap in mobile experience for Slovak smartphone users. Whether 5G meets this expectation in Slovakia is an area Opensignal will be analyzing using our continuous flow of analytics data to compare the experience across each mobile operator
