Globe’s rise of 30.3% is followed by fellow 5G Global Rising Stars Movistar Chile with 26.7% and French Free Mobile with 26.1%.
Opensignal further said Sweden’s Telenor, Malaysia’s Unifi, and South Korea’s SK telecom are this year’s kings of speed.
Telenor and Unifi users observed the fastest average 5G Download Speeds in Group I, making the two operators 5G global winners with statistically tied scores of 407.4-421.7Mbps. They are followed by three 5G Global Leaders: Brazil’s Vivo, Malaysia’s Digi and TIM Brazil.
In Group II, SK telecom is the sole 5G Global Winner with a score of 458.5Mbps — the other two South Korean operators — KT and LG U+ are 5G Global Leaders, along with Singapore’s M1 and A1 Bulgaria.
