Benchmark methodology

The connect Mobile Network Test 2025 in the United Kingdom consists of drive tests and walk tests conducted from October 28 through to November 13, 2024. Four drive test cars traveled 19 cities and 27 towns covering 10,480 kilometers. Additionally, two walk test teams visited ten cities and travelled on trains between them as well as to more remote destinations. The selected areas covered 17.2 million people, approximately 25.7% of the UK population. In addition, the results of extensive crowdsourcing analyses, considering 24 weeks from the end of May to mid-November 2024 are included in the score. The analyses are based on 7.5 billion samples, statistically representing 99.7% of the built-up area of the UK and 99.9% of the UK population. The results of all three test categories were thoroughly weighed to achieve a realistic and conclusive assessment of each network’s potential and performance.

connect’s independent mobile network tests, conducted by umlaut, provide a fair, transparent and neutral assessment and comparison of the networks' capabilities to customers, management and supervisory boards of mobile network operators. The assessment was first conducted in Germany more than 20 years ago and has since been extended to Austria, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom. It has become the de-facto industry standard for customer-perceived network quality.
