Mobile Broadband

 

It’s official, Vodafone’s mobile broadband service is officially the fastest and most reliable in the UK. The provider has come top in independent trials of a range of mobile broadband providers. The trials took place in a number of locations across the U.K to determine which operator provided the fastest service.

 

Vodafone was found to be up to 4 times faster in downloading a web page than the slowest competitor. The network was also found to be upto 10 seconds faster when downloading a 2mb file.

 

The tests were carried out by LCC, the largest independent wireless engineering company in the world. They conducted over 28,000 network tests in locations independently selected over March, April and May.

 

In all, 28000 tests were conducted in 140 locations. These included:

 

  • 15 airports
  • 11 shopping centres
  • 33 hotels
  • 10 service stations
  • 27 business locations including business parks and offices and
  • 22 rail stations

 

The reports key findings were as follows:

  • Vodafone mobile broadband internet was up to 77% faster than the slowest operator when downloading a 2MB file
  • Download speeds on Vodafone mobile broadband are 1.2Mbps/13.54seconds compared to 764kbps/21.44 seconds for Three, 683kbps/23.99 seconds for Orange, 812kbps/20.17 seconds for 02 and 993kbps/16.15 seconds for T-Mobile.
  • Vodafone was up to 278% faster to open a web page (compared to slowest operator performance): Vodafone
  • Vodafone UK’s mobile broadband internet takes 6.7 seconds compared to 12.7 seconds on Three, 7.45 seconds on 02, 7.8 seconds on T-Mobile and 25.67 on Orange

 

 

The report comes in the wake of media criticism of mobile broadband providers for a lack of transparency over actual connection speeds

 

Jeni Mundy, Vodafone UK’s CTO states “This is fantastic news for our customers, as this research shows that they can be assured of both the highest reliability and speed.

 

A spokesperson for Genesis Communications, one of the largest distributors of Vodafone mobile broadband said: “This report proves that Vodafone mobile broadband is the fastest and most reliable mobile broadband around. At Genesis we are committed to offering our customers the very best in communications technology and this is evidence of this.”
