A new study released by the independent benchmarking company
umlaut ranks Rogers as the number one Canadian wireless carrier in
voice, data and reliability for its wireless network. This marks
the fifth consecutive year Rogers has won umlaut’s “Best in Test”
award.
“We are continually investing in our networks to deliver
wireless services Canadians can rely on,” said Ron McKenzie, Chief
Technology & Information Officer, Rogers Communications. “We
are extremely proud to be recognized by umlaut, a global leader in
mobile network testing and benchmarking, as having the best, most
reliable wireless network in the country.”
The study shows Rogers wireless customers enjoy the best network
performance in the country, winning umlaut’s “Best in Test” mobile
benchmark award. umlaut measured the performance of voice and data
services on smartphones based on extensive drive tests throughout
Canada and crowdsourced data. The drive tests were completed across
30,000 km over 47 days, covering major metropolitan areas, smaller
cities and connection roads. Testing measured reliability,
responsiveness, download/upload speed, voice quality, call setup
time, and video streaming stability and quality.
umlaut is a global leader in third party benchmarking of network
performance, providing some of the most comprehensive carrier
testing worldwide, and tests over 200 mobile networks in over 120
countries. The company determines each carrier’s score by ranking
the performance of typical consumer use cases such as making and
receiving calls, browsing popular websites, downloading/uploading
content and streaming video content.
Rogers is committed to bringing Canadians the biggest and best
wireless networks. The company is investing to expand the country’s
largest and most reliable 5G network, which now reaches more than
2,100 communities. Through its transformative merger with Shaw,
