(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 29 March 2012
Release date- 28032012 - Helsinki, Finland - Independent tests on the Isle of Man's mobile networks have shown that Manx Telecom customers enjoy better 3G mobile internet coverage and speeds that are twice as fast as those on the Sure network.
Omnitele, a Finnish telecommunications engineering and consulting company, conducted Island-wide service benchmark tests on the Manx Telecom and Sure (Cable & Wireless) mobile networks in February 2012. The main purpose of the benchmark testing was to provide Manx Telecom with an understanding of their service quality in comparison to local competition and international standards.
The Omnitele tests covered the Island's main telecoms network routes and nine high-usage data hotspots in the Douglas area.
Omnitele tests showed that Manx Telecom customers enjoy 98% 3G mobile internet coverage compared to 69% coverage with Sure. Average download speeds on Manx Telecom's network are more than DOUBLE that of Sure, and average upload speeds are nearly THREE TIMES faster on Manx Telecom's mobile network.
'These results clearly show how Manx Telecom's continued investment in the Isle of Man has produced a mobile network that meets customers' needs in the smartphone age. With smartphone ownership reaching unprecedented levels, it is becoming more important to have the best coverage and fastest mobile network behind you' says Mervyn Harvey, Mobile Product Manager, Manx Telecom.
