This is good news for those who use mobile communication in Spain.”The tests while driving and on foot were carried out in January and February 2023 in urban centers, in outer metropolitan areas, in suburban areas, in small towns and cities located along the highway. Four test cars traveled through 20 cities and 23 towns, covering a total of 13,040 kilometres. The selected areas covered around 12.3 million people, approximately 26% of the population of Spain. The analyzes of collaborating sources are based on 2,054,000,000 samples from 769,991 users collected from the end of August 2022 to the beginning of February 2023, which represents approximately 98% of the built-up area in Spain and statistically represents 99.5%. of the Spanish population. The results of all three tests were extensively weighted to achieve a realistic and conclusive comparison of the potential and performance of each network. Connect’s independent mobile network tests, led by umlaut, provide a fair, transparent, and unbiased evaluation and Comparison of network functions both for consumers and for the management and boards of mobile network operators. This analysis was first carried out in Germany more than 20 years ago and has since been extended to Austria, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. In fact, it has become a benchmark in the sector for determining the quality of networks from the customer’s point of view.
