Malaysia has faster and more consistently available mobile networks than Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia, a report by mobile quality measurement company Tutela has said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the report<\/a>, Malaysia had the fastest average download speeds including both 3G and 4G, at 11.1Mbps, with its score dragged down by U Mobile’s 4.3Mbps average in comparison to Celcom’s 14.8Mbps, Maxis’ 13.3Mbps, and DiGi’s 9.6Mbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Indonesia had the second-fastest average speeds, at 8.3Mbps; the Philippines third, at 8.1Mbps; and Thailand slowest, at 6Mbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For consistency, Tutela tested for how often mobile networks reached the benchmarks of speeds of 4Mbps down and 2Mbps up, 0 percent packet loss, and less than 50 milliseconds of latency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Malaysia again came in first, with 56.9 percent of connections meeting these needs. It was followed by Thailand, at 45.3 percent; Indonesia, at 40.1 percent; and the Philippines, at 33.3 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Across Malaysia’s carriers, Maxis ranked first, at 68.9 percent consistency in the Excellent category; Celcom second, at 61.6 percent; DiGi third, at 57.5 percent; and U Mobile fourth, at 33 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Malaysia has the best consistent quality of any country, and Maxis’s score of 69% is the best of any operator in the region,” the report noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Indonesia, Telkomsel took out first place with a 57.8 percent consistent quality score; followed by XL, with 45.9 percent; Indosat Ooredoo, with 35.3 percent; 3, with 34.4 percent; and Smartfren, with 32.6 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Telkomsel in Indonesia has been investing heavily in 4G infrastructure, and the results are apparent — its users had the best coverage, download speeds, and consistent quality in the country,” the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Filipino telco Smart had a 48.8 percent consistent quality score, while Globe sat at just 23.8 percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Thailand, TrueMove had a 49.3 percent consistency score thanks to its investments in 4G spectrum; DTAC had a 45.6 percent score; TOT saw 45 percent; and AIS saw 40.1 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “In a region where 90 percent of internet access is via smartphone, wireless operators are under pressure to guarantee higher levels of performance,” Tutela VP Tom Luke said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We have been able to analyse the mobile quality experienced across the entire region, from big cities to small villages, giving a true and balanced picture of the experience that mobile users are getting.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n More than 85 billion mobile network measurements between December 1, 2018, and January 9, 2019, across 10 million mobile devices were used for the report, with Tutela’s network quality-testing software running in the background of over 3,000 third-party apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Tutela, its results differ from other network-measurement companies because it measures typical usage rather than measuring peak performance under ideal conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We used a 2MB file to perform our download testing and a 1MB file to perform our upload testing. Tutela employs software installed on more than 3,000 partner apps to complete frequent, lightweight tests of around 2MB,” it explained.
