Yoigo demonstrates great results, particularly in the Data category and together with Orange leads the highest share of samples collected with 5G, exceeding 85% in cities. Hannes Ruegheimer, editor of Connect magazine, has stated the following: "Congratulations to Orange and Vodafone for having won our Mobile Network Test 2024 in Spain. Our results reflect a very positive trend: Compared to last year, all operators have improved their results. Yoigo was the one that increased its score the most. It is good news for Spanish mobile communications customers."The driving and walking tests were carried out in late January and early February 2024 in urban centers, in outer metropolitan areas, in suburban areas, in small towns and cities located along road. Four test cars traveled through 20 cities and 23 towns, covering a total of 11,490 kilometers. The selected areas covered around 12.8 million people, approximately 27% of Spain's population. The crowdsourced analyzes are based on 5.6 billion samples from 1.3 million users collected from mid-August 2023 to end of January 2024. They represent approximately 99% of the built area in Spain and statistically cover 99.8% of the Spanish population. The results of all three tests were comprehensively weighted to achieve a realistic and conclusive assessment of the potential and performance of each network. Connect's independent mobile network tests, led by umlaut, offer a fair, transparent and unbiased evaluation and comparative network functions for both consumers and the management and boards of directors 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 to determine the quality of networks from the customer's point of view.
