connect test: Ninth overall win for Swisscom

“With the ninth win in the connect network test, Swisscom continues to demonstrate that it offers its customer the best mobile network in Switzerland,” says Urs Schaeppi, CEO Swisscom. “I am delighted by the result as other mobile phone tests have also rated our network as the best. It confirms that we are on the right track with our network expansion strategy.”

Despite the increased demands made by the test every year, Swisscom again took the top spot in Switzerland this year with 973 out of a total 1,000 points. Alongside its position as overall winner, Swisscom also won the two main categories of mobile data communication and crowdsourcing, the latter test having been incorporated in the overall ranking for the first time this year. From September to November 2018, around 153 million metrics were evaluated for 54,000 mobile phone users in Switzerland. These included the existence of a network connection, which network technologies were available, and the rate of data downloads.

Swisscom has also taken first place in other mobile phone network tests such as the recent Speed Test carried out by Ookla. In addition, a number of mobile communications providers also rely on the Swisscom network, and thus the best network in Switzerland.

Excellent results across all Swiss networks in the test demonstrate the high level of quality in Switzerland. The competition in Switzerland works to the benefit of customers.
