Key Findings
A1 users saw the fastest average overall speeds in Austria
Just like in the previous report, our Austrian users saw the fastest average overall download and upload speeds on A1’s network. The operator wins Download Speed Experience with a score of 49.9 Mbps — 11.2 Mbps ahead of second-place 3. Both 3 and Magenta have whittled away at A1’s lead — as their Download Speed Experience scores increased by four and 5.8 Mbps respectively, while A1 witnessed a decline of 2.6 Mbps. A1 also wins Upload Speed Experience, with a score of 12.7 Mbps, while both 3 and Magenta were in a statistical tie for second place.
3 wins 5G Download Speed outright for the third time in a row
3 wins only one award this time around, for 5G Download Speed, with average download speeds clocking in at 210.8 Mbps. 3 commanded an impressive lead over second-placed Magenta, of 60.2 Mbps — which means 40% faster speeds. However, the difference between 3 and Magenta was over 100 Mbps in the previous report. Average 5G download speeds experienced by our users on 3 and A1’s networks fell by 48.9 and 31.4 Mbps in the meantime, respectively, while Magenta observed no statistically significant changes in its score.
Magenta broke out of the statistical tie and wins 5G Upload Speed outright
After jointly winning 5G Upload Speed with 3 in the last report, Magenta is now the sole winner of this award, with a score of 30.9 Mbps — the only operator to exceed the 30 Mbps mark this time around. Magenta wins thanks to a burst of speed of 3 Mbps (10.8%), while 3 observed a substantial drop in its score, of 7.2 Mbps — nearly a quarter of its result from the previous report. A1 saw no statistically significant changes in its score and shares second place with 3.
Our users experienced the most consistent quality of services on A1’s network
A1 wins both Opensignal consistency awards again— Excellent Consistent Quality (HD video, group video conference calls and gaming) and Core Consistent Quality (lower performance applications including SD video, voice calls and web browsing). It wins them for the second time in a row, with scores of 87.6% and 93.3% — which reflect the percentage of users’ tests in which the operator met the minimum recommended performance thresholds.
A1 and Magenta keep their experiential awards in a firm grip
We observed no changes in the ownership of the overall experiential awards — Magenta retained Games Experience and Voice App Experience, while A1 remains the sole winner of Video Experience. Both operators continue to hold all three 5G experiential awards — 5G Video Experience, 5G Games Experience and 5G Voice App Experience — as joint winners. However, in the previous report, we saw a series of three-way statistical ties in these categories — but 3 drops from the winners’ podium as the third joint winner this time around.
Mobile Experience Awards
Market Overview
We saw a two-horse race in the award table in Austria, with A1 and Magenta winning 10 and nine awards, respectively. A1 claims five awards outright — both overall speed and both consistency awards, along with Video Experience. Magenta is the sole winner of Games Experience, Voice App Experience, 5G Upload Speed and Availability — while operators jointly win the remaining five awards. Compared to the previous report, 3 lost five joint wins to its previous co-winners — including 5G Upload Speed to Magenta, who is now the sole winner of this award. 3 wins only one award this time, for 5G Download Speed, with a score of 210.8 Mbps.
3 has worked with Qualcomm and ZTE to showcase a 5G Standalone network using the 700 MHz band and aggregating a 1400 MHz supplemental downlink band. According to the involved parties, this development will help to improve 5G download speed and coverage in suburban and rural areas. Enhancing 5G experience in Austrian rural areas is important, as there is a notable 5G rural-urban divide in Austria, as our recent research demonstrated.
Meanwhile, A1 has developed an end-to-end 5G network slicing proof of concept with Amdocs, which demonstrated management of 5G network slices and virtualized applications over public/private cloud and edge, along with its monetization potential. As for Magenta, the operator has enabled 5G access across all of its smartphone tariffs and intends to expand its 5G coverage to 55% of Austrians by the end of 2022 — while also planning to switch off its 3G services from the beginning of 2024.
Our results in this report are based on measurements collected across all major mobile operators in Austria – 3, A1 and Magenta – over the period of 90 days between June 1, 2022 and August 29, 2022, to see how they fared.
Overall Experience
National Analysis
A1 retains the Video Experience award, with a score of 65.8 points on a 100-point scale. 3 and Magenta were in a statistical tie for second place, with scores in the 60.9-61.3 points range, around 4.7 points behind the winner.
A1 was the only operator to place in the Very Good (65-75) category, meaning generally fast loading times and only occasional stalling, while its competitors placed in the category below — Good (55-65). This means an acceptable but inconsistent experience, even from the same video streaming provider and particularly for higher resolutions, with noticeably slow loading times and stalling not being uncommon. However, our 5G users on both A1 and Magenta enjoyed a Very Good (65-75) overall Video Experience, as the operators’ scores on Video Experience — 5G Users were 4.5 and 6.9 points higher, respectively, compared to their Video Experience scores.
Definitions
Opensignal’s Video Experience quantifies the quality of video streamed to mobile devices by measuring real-world video streams over an operator's networks. The metric is based on an International Telecommunication Union (ITU) approach, built upon detailed studies which have derived a relationship between technical parameters, including picture quality, video loading time and stall rate, with the perceived video experience as reported by real people. To calculate video experience, we are directly measuring video streams from end-user devices and using this ITU approach to quantify the overall video experience for each operator on a scale from 0 to 100. The videos tested include a mixture of resolutions — including Full HD (FHD) and 4K / Ultra HD (UHD) — and are streamed directly from the world’s largest video content providers.
In addition to Video Experience, we report on the following metrics related to video experience:
- 5G Video Experience: The average Video Experience of Opensignal users when they were connected to an operator’s 5G network.
- Video Experience – 5G Users: The average Video Experience of Opensignal users with a 5G device and a 5G subscription across an operator's networks. It factors in 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G video experience along with the availability of each technology.
- 4G Video Experience: The average Video Experience of Opensignal users on an operator's 4G network.
- 3G Video Experience: The average Video Experience of Opensignal users on an operator’s 3G network.
National Analysis
Magenta successfully defends the Games Experience award, with a score of 74.4 points on a 100-point scale — 3.6-5.7 points ahead of statistically tied 3 and A1. While our users on A1 and Magenta networks observed no statistically significant difference compared to the previous report, while 3’s score declined by 3.4 points.
Mobile gaming experience on all Austrian operators rated as Fair (65-75), which means that users found the experience to be average and the majority of them reported that they noticed a delay between their actions and the outcomes in the game.
Definitions
Opensignal’s Games Experience measures how mobile users experience real-time multiplayer mobile gaming on an operator’s network. Measured on a scale of 0-100, it analyzes how our users’ multiplayer mobile gaming experience is affected by mobile network conditions including latency, packet loss and jitter.
Games Experience quantifies the experience when playing real-time multiplayer mobile games on mobile devices connected to servers located around the world. The approach is built on several years of research quantifying the relationship between technical network parameters and the gaming experience as reported by real mobile users. These parameters include latency (round trip time), jitter (variability of latency) and packet loss (the proportion of data packets that never reach their destination). Additionally, it considers multiple genres of multiplayer mobile games to measure the average sensitivity to network conditions. The games tested include some of the most popular real-time multiplayer mobile games (such as Fortnite, Pro Evolution Soccer and Arena of Valor) played around the world.
Calculating Games Experience starts with measuring the end-to-end experience from users’ devices to internet end-points that host real games. The score is then measured on a scale from 0 to 100.
In addition to Games Experience, we report on the following metrics related to games experience:
- 5G Games Experience: The average Games Experience of Opensignal users when they were connected to an operator’s 5G network.

National Analysis
Magenta retains the Voice App Experience award, with a score of 77.9 points on a 100-point scale. 3 and A1 remain in joint second place, with statistically tied scores in the 76.4-76.7 points range. They all placed in the Acceptable (74-80) category — which means some users were satisfied but some others experienced perceptible call quality impairments.
Definitions
Opensignal's Voice App Experience measures the quality of experience for over-the-top (OTT) voice services — mobile voice apps such as WhatsApp, Skype and Facebook Messenger — using a model derived from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) approach for quantifying overall voice call quality and a series of calibrated technical parameters. This model characterizes the exact relationship between the technical measurements and perceived call quality. Voice App Experience for each operator is calculated on a scale from 0 to 100.
In addition to Voice App Experience, we report on the following metrics related to voice app experience:
- 5G Voice App Experience: The average Voice App Experience of Opensignal users when they were connected to an operator’s 5G network.
- Voice App Experience – 5G Users: The average Voice App Experience of Opensignal users with a 5G device and a 5G subscription across an operator's networks. It factors in 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G voice app experience along with the availability of each technology.
- 4G Voice App Experience: The average Voice App Experience of Opensignal users on an operator's 4G network.
- 3G Voice App Experience: The average Voice App Experience of Opensignal users on an operator's 3G (e.g. UMTS/HSPA or CDMA 1X EV-DO) network.

They also saw the highest uplift in overall Upload Speed Experience, of 4.7 Mbps, compared to all Magenta’s users.
Definitions
Upload Speed Experience measures the average upload speeds for each operator observed by our users across their mobile data networks. Typically upload speeds are slower than download speeds, as current mobile broadband technologies focus resources on providing the best possible download speed for users consuming content on their devices. As mobile internet trends move away from downloading content to creating content and supporting real-time communications services, upload speeds are becoming more vital and new technologies are emerging that boost upstream capacity.
In addition to Upload Speed Experience, we report on five supporting metrics related to upload speeds:
- 5G Upload Speed: The average upload speed observed by Opensignal users with active 5G connections.
- Upload Speed Experience – 5G Users: The average upload speeds experienced by Opensignal users with a 5G device and a 5G subscription across an operator’s networks. It factors in 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G upload speeds along with the availability of each technology.

National Analysis
Magenta wins Availability for the second consecutive time. Our users on this network spent 98.3% of the time connected to either a 3G, 4G or 5G signal — around one percentage point higher than what our users on statistically-tied 3 and A1’s networks experienced. None of the Austrian operators saw any statistically significant changes in their Availability scores compared to the previous report.
Definitions
Our availability metrics are not a measure of a network’s geographical extent. They won’t tell you whether you are likely to get a signal if you plan to visit a remote rural or nearly uninhabited region. Instead, they measure what proportion of time people have a network connection, in the places they most commonly frequent — something often missed by traditional coverage metrics. Looking at when users have a connection rather than where, provides us with a more precise reflection of the true user experience.
We also keep track of the instances that leave mobile users most frustrated: when there is no signal to connect to at all. The most common dead zones users struggle with occur indoors. As most of our availability data is collected indoors (as that’s where users spend most of their time), we’re particularly astute at detecting areas of zero signal.
Our availability metrics take a user-centric, time-based approach that complements the user-centric and geographical-based methodology used by our reach metrics.
Availability shows the proportion of time all Opensignal users on an operator’s network had either a 3G, 4G or 5G connection.

Confidence Intervals
For every metric we calculate statistical confidence intervals indicated on our graphs. When confidence intervals overlap, our measured results are too close to declare a winner. In those cases, we show a statistical draw. For this reason, some metrics have multiple operator winners.
In our bar graphs we represent confidence intervals as boundaries on either sides of graph bars.
In our supporting-metric charts we show confidence intervals as +/- numerical values.
Why confidence intervals are vital in analyzing mobile network experience
