Telecommunications giant MTN has been named South Africa’s best mobile network for the first quarter of 2020.

The MyBroadband Insights quarterly Mobile Network Quality Report shows that MTN has a network quality score of 9.69, down slightly from its score of 9.85 in the fourth quarter of 2019.

MTN was also a clear winner in all South African cities – Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Tshwane, the report stated.

Vodacom secured a score of 7.13, down from the score of 8.01 in the preceding quarter, while Rain achieved a first-quarter score of 5.51, compared with the fourth quarter’s score of 5.58.

During the first quarter of the year, Cell C registered a score of 5, up from 4.91, and Telkom dropped to 4.61 from 5.32.

The report ranks South Africa's mobile networks on a network quality score, which considers download speed, upload speed and latency, based on 310 868 speed tests performed by 12 937 MyBroadband Android Speed Test App users across South Africa between January 1 and March 31.

Overall, South Africa had an average mobile download speed of 25.57 Mb/s and an average upload speed of 9.07 Mb/s, a slight contraction on the fourth quarter’s mobile download speed of 26.73 Mb/s and upload speed of 9.53 Mb/s.

MTN had the highest average download speed at 43.47 Mb/s, followed by Vodacom with 29.79 Mb/s, Telkom with 19.11 Mb/s, Cell C with 17.52 Mb/s and Rain with 15.20 Mb/s.
