CROWD
The crowdsourcing analyses show the same ranking in Switzerland as the overall ranking – thus confirming the results of our drive tests and walk tests.
The ranking of the three Swiss providers in the crowdsourcing discipline does not differ from the previous categories of voice and data: Swisscom takes the lead by a few points, closely followed by Sunrise and finally by Salt at a slightly larger gap. Even the point differences are similar to last year, which once again underlines the high and long-term stable quality of the Swiss mobile networks.
The respective strengths are already evident in the broadband coverage category: in the Coverage Quality, Swisscom and Sunrise are on a tie, followed by Salt at a small gap. The Broadband Reach reveals a clearer ranking: here Swisscom leads, Sunrise is in second place and Salt in third. Sunrise, in turn, can gain a small lead over Swisscom in the Time on Broadband – the share of time in which a user has broadband coverage. Here, again, the two big rivals are ahead of the smaller provider Salt at some distance.
In the data rates considered in crowdsourcing, Swisscom takes the lead in all three categories, the gaps to Sunrise in second and Salt in third place becoming increasingly apparent as the demands increase. Swisscom also leads in both categories when latencies are examined. In the basic OTT voice services class, Sunrise and Salt are on a par, while in the more demanding gaming category, the familiar ranking becomes evident again.
