Jazz has taken first place in Opensignal’s new Coverage Experience Report for overall coverage. Opensignal is a self-contained analytics firm that specialises in quantifying global mobile network experiences.
The new Coverage Experience metric from Opensignal measures the geographic coverage of populated areas on a 10-point scale to represent the experience users have when travelling around areas where they would reasonably expect to find coverage.
Jazz, with the top score of 6.1, tops the Opensignal report list of the best overall coverage experience in Pakistan, followed by Zong, Telenor, and Ufone with scores of 5.5, 4.8, and 3.1 respectively.
Jazz has the largest market share in Pakistan serving over 73m customers followed by Telenor, Zong, and Ufone with 48m, 46m, and 26m subscribers respectively. Jazz also serves the most 4G users (47m) followed by Zong (39m), Telenor (25m), and Ufone (14m).
Typically, surveys use geography and population bases approaches to gauge mobile coverage experience, which, according to Opensignal, have their shortcomings.
As a solution, Opensignal claims that its Coverage Experience measures (rather than estimates) the geographic coverage of populated areas and thus more accurately reflects typical users’ coverage expectations and experience.
