Vodafone wins the Video Experience award outright
For the first time since Opensignal added Video Experience to our Australian mobile network experience reports back in April 2019, there is an outright winner for this award. Vodafone is the sole winner with a score of 75.6 out of 100 1.4 points higher than Telstra’s score of 74.2 points.
Telstra statistically tied with Vodafone for this award in its previous two reports, but this time Vodafone was able to break the deadlock thanks to a 1.2 point rise in its score. In addition to winning the Video Experience award, Vodafone is the only Australian operator to place in the Excellent (75 or above) category both its rivals had to content themselves with a Very Good (65-75) rating instead.

KUALA LUMPUR, May 1 If you’re looking for the best download speed and video streaming experience in Malaysia, Digi has emerged as the best telco on Opensignal’s latest Mobile Network Experience Report 2021. The latest analysis is based on data recorded between 1st December 2020 to 28th February 2021.
Maxis which previously dominated Opensignal awards for gaming, video and download is now only a joint-winner for gaming experience. For the April report, U Mobile is the biggest winner as it nabbed awards for voice, upload speed and it’s also a joint-winner for gaming experience.
Opensignal today has published its first
Mobile Network Experience Report of 2021 for Malaysia and as always, it contained several interesting observations regarding the general state of our telcos. Using data that was collected from 1 Dec 2020 until 28 February 2021,
Digi is apparently the fastest telco in Malaysia right now when it comes to download speed.
According to the report, the telco managed to overcome
Maxis who has been holding on to the Download Speed Experience title for so many years although the gap between both companies is not that big at just 1.4Mbps. On another hand, it is still a worrying sign for Maxis though as Opensignal has noted that the telco’s download speed has dropped further since the last report in September 2020.

Year-Ender
The pandemic did not wreak as much devastation in the telecom sector as it did in transportation, property and trade.
In a locked down world, the mantra of businesses became: digitalize or die.
Most of the country’s over 100 million locked down population went online, working and studying from home, making purchases on the web and resorting to telemedicine.
Digital was suddenly equated with safety as face-to-face interaction heightened contagion.
People developed an aversion to physical cash as well, prematurely forcing transactions to go contactless.
And while lockdown froze ongoing upgrades and expansion, the telecom duopoly resumed building immediately though they pared down their capex.
