While Switzerland is the most advanced country in Europe in the launch of 5G, most Helvetians do not yet have a suitable smartphone and they have time to think about it: 4G should be available at least tenyears in the country.
Until then, who is the best operator for the Swiss: Swisscom, Sunrise or Salt?Via a study identified by Tages Anzeiger, the British company OpenSignal, specialized in the analysis of mobile networks, compared the services of the three suppliers.
Best cover for Sunrise
In terms of coverage, it is Sunrise who wins the palm.In almost 93% of cases, its customers have a good reception of 4G with an appropriate device.Swisscom continues to put pressure by improving its 2018 score: the network is captured in 90.7% of cases.At Salt, this percentage drops to 86.5%.
Fastest swisscom
Regarding download speed, Swisscom takes first place, for the third year in a row.Its average speed to download data is 40 Mbits/s, while it is 33 Mbits/s at Sunrise and 30 Mbits/s at Salt.
Swisscom loses points when it comes to sending data (upload), with a flow of just under 11 Mbits/s.Its competitors are in front with just over 11 Mbits/s for Salt and 12 Mbits/s for Sunrise.
The three operators are almost on an equal footing with regard to the video experience.Long loading times and flickering images are relatively rare.
Switzerland in the top 10
OpenSignal also compared latency in the three operators, the time required for data packets to be transmitted from the transmitter to the recipient to the recipient.And there, it is Swisscom who takes the lead in the ranking with a score of 30.8 milliseconds, almost 4 ms better than Sunrise.
To obtain these results, OpenSignal based on measurements carried out by users.Thanks to various applications, it has evaluated the quality of connection of more than 53,000 smartphones in Switzerland, between February 1 and May 1, 2019.
According to the company, which has analyzed mobile telephony networks in 87 countries, Switzerland can boast of having one of the best networks in the world and being in the Top 10 in the international ranking.
