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.
With a speed of 43.7 Mbps, our Orange users enjoyed the fastest average download speed in Slovakia ahead of Telekom with a score of 38.8 Mbps. Both operators were a long way ahead of what our O2 users experienced (22 Mbps) or those on 4ka's network (15 Mbps). However, on Upload Speed Experience, Orange and Telekom are statistically tied and therefore jointly won the award.
Orange's score of 75.4 and Telekom's 74.5 on a 100-point scale are statistically tied, so the two operators are joint winners of the Video Experience award scale. Opensignal's Video Experience quantifies mobile video streaming using an ITU-based approach that connects technical real-world measurements with users' perception of video quality. Despite two clear winners, less than five points separate all four operators with last placed 4ka's score of 70.6 still rating as Very Good (65>75).
The winning score of 78.3 puts Telekom users' multiplayer gaming experience into the Good category (75<85). Second placed Orange with a score of 74.9 falls into the Fair category (65<75) as do the scores of O2 (69.1) and 4ka (67.1). Opensigna's Games Experience quantifies popular mobile gaming genres such as battle royale and massive online battle arena (MOBA); examples of games in these genres include PUBG, Fortnite, Arena of Valor, or League of Legends.
Telekom's score has increased from 88.6% in the last report to now score 90.1%. However, this increase is not enough for it to join the winners. Again, O2 and Orange share the Opensignal 4G Availability award for the proportion of time users were able to connect to 4G. However, all three operators jointly win the 4G Coverage Experience award which reflects the geographic extent of our users' experience of each operator's service.
In our latest analysis of the mobile network experience we see modest changes from our previous report as Slovakia's operators have been preparing for 5G launches. The arrival of the latest version of mobile technology offers the prospect of changing the situation in Slovakia markedly and should greatly boost the quality of the mobile experience as we have seen in other countries globally.
While more operators have now launched 5G it is still too early to see a major impact on Opensignal's awards table. Orange launched its 5G network in May, starting in Bratislava following Telekom some months earlier. Also, 4ka is moving ahead on 5G with supplier selection and advanced trials as is O2.
Opensignal's latest report uses measurements taken between May 1 and July 29, 2021. 5G measurements and those of older 3G and 4G mobile technologies contribute to operators' overall scores.
