OpenSignal, an independent global
standard for analysing consumer mobile
experience, has ranked Nigeria as one of
the countries with the worst 4G
connection in the world.


The organisation said it conducted a survey
between January 1 and March 31, 2019, on
the state of mobile network experience, to
provide the benchmark to assess the extent
“the real-world 5G experience will be
superior to the existing mobile network
experience enjoyed by billions of consumers
worldwide”.

OpenSignal said 87 countries were
examined and their performances and
rankings were calculated using five key
metrics: 4G availability, video experience,
download and upload speed experience and
latency experience.

Nigeria was listed 80 (at the bottom ten) in
the list of countries with 4G availability.

“4G availability shows the proportion of time
Opensignal users with a 4G device have a
4G connection; video experience quantifies
the quality of mobile video experienced by
Opensignal users on realworld video
streams; upload speed experience
measures the average upload speeds
experienced by Opensignal users across an
operator’s 3G and 4G networks; measured
in milliseconds, latency refers to the delay
users experience as data makes a round
trip through the network and download
speed experience shows the average
download speed experienced by Opensignal
users across an operator’s 3G and 4G
networks,” the report read.

“Our analysis shows that the average 4G
availability across the 87 countries
experienced by our users is close to 80%,
with 15 markets scoring over the 90%
mark.”

Using the five metrics, Nigeria scored
5.4megabits per second (Mbps) in download
speed experience, 1.5Mbps in upload speed
experience, 112.5ms latency experience,
63.0% in 4G availability and 37.9 in video
experience.

The report listed the overall first 10
countries with good 4G connection to
include South Korea, Japan, Norway, Hong
Kong, USA, Netherlands, Taiwan, Hungary,
Sweden and India.

South Korea led other countries in
download experience and in 4G availability.
Denmark was number one in upload speed
experience; Singapore topped in latency
experience while Norway led in video
experience.

The report said European countries
dominated in the area of good networks. It,
however, added that no one country
appeared in the top 10 in all five of the key
metrics.
