connect has been conducting the leading mobile network benchmark test in Germany for more than 30 years. Since 2004, we are doing this in close cooperation with umlaut (then P3 Communications) and have constantly extended our footprint – among others to Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Belgium and Luxembourg. Combining the network infrastructure and measurement expertise of umlaut with the editorial experience and testing knowledge of connect, the benchmarks are today positioned to be a unique measure for management and supervisory boards to compare their networks with others, and for customers to make better decisions for their subscriptions.
scoring principles
The grades awarded in all of our network tests are based on this mapping of the achieved score points:
950 – 1000 Points outstanding
850 – 949 Points very good
750 – 849 Points good
650 – 749 Points satisfactory
500 – 649 Points sufficient
350 – 499 Points insufficient
0 – 349 Points inadequate
