T-Mobile ranked fastest mobile broadband provider

Independent tests have resulted in T-Mobile being ranked the provider with the fastest mobile broadband in the UK.

Testing company P3 solutions carried out the study, which looked into the performance of mobile broadband service providers. Tests assessed the level of customer satisfaction regarding broadband speeds during peak hours, and were carried out over the last three months across 16 cities in the UK.

T-Mobile Broadband was found to be the fastest provider for upload and download speeds as well as for web browsing and sending and receiving emails. Accessing websites was about 25% faster with T-Mobile than with its nearest rival, while uploading photos and videos to websites such as Facebook and YouTube was 60% faster than competitors’ upload speeds.

Emin Gurdenli, chief technology officer at T-Mobile UK, said: “These independent tests clearly put T-Mobile’s Mobile Broadband network ahead of the pack. P3′s benchmarking reveals that our programme of continuous improvement and investment in network performance is delivering a richer experience for our fast-growing base of Mobile Broadband users.”

T-Mobile has experienced a 35 per cent rise in the sale of dongles between the second and third quarters of the year, with an estimated market share of 22 per cent. The German mobile giant is in the process of upgrading its mobile broadband network to 7.2Mb within the M25 and in major cities, which should yield a realistic speed of up to 4.5Mb.

“We recognise that performance is a key enabler for our customers to access the internet anywhere and at any time they chose. We’ve removed all complexity from the Mobile Broadband story by offering unlimited usage, flat rates and non-committal tariffs that allow customers to access the service as and when they need it,” added Gurdenli.

“Now customers have the added assurance that T-Mobile is delivering on its commitment to provide a superior Mobile Broadband experience.”
