The analysts at Rootmetrics collected over 920,000 test samples and drove more than 25,000 miles – the equivalent of driving from Land’s End to John O’Groats 28 times - to gather the information in their latest study of UK mobile providers.
The EE network ranked as number one in the UK across all categories: mobile internet, calls, texts, speed and overall reliability.
A variety of locations were tested including more than 1,200 indoor locations across the UK and various scenarios to replicate the real-life usage of mobile technology across rural and urban areas.
Here’s how EE ranked in the RootMetrics report.
•Number one for overall network performance
•Joint number one for network reliability
•Number one for network speed
•Number one for mobile internet performance
•Number one for call performance
•Number one for text performance
Further to this latest report from RootMetrics, recent Ofcom research has proved that the EE network delivers more successful calls than any other network.

Olaf Swantee, CEO at EE, said:
“Today’s results, along with last week’s report from Ofcom, show that EE is providing the best mobile experience to businesses and consumers across the UK. We continue to invest to ensure that customers here have access to a world-leading network, setting new standards for performance and reliability. We welcome the most rigorous independent testing of mobile networks, and it’s great to see ongoing investment is improving quality and coverage for people, no matter where they are in the country.”
