Following on the heels of a recent YouGov survey in which T-Mobile bagged the top spot in six out of thirteen categories, a research study by independent testing house P3 Solutions has found that T-Mobile is indeed the best when it comes to guaranteeing a satisfying mobile broadband customer experience.

This is the third quarter in succession in which T-Mobile is walking away with the top spot. Interestingly, this study by P3 was commissioned by T-Mobile itself. P3 found T-Mobile to be in the lead in aspects such as web browsing speeds, and the speed and reliability of email services. Its stellar performance was not just restricted to these areas as it also recorded impressive upload speeds, at least 44 percent faster than the closest opponent.

Commenting on the results of the survey, the chief technology officer of T-Mobile UK, Emin Gurdenli said that this third consecutive success in the survey was an indication that it was doing a good job of satisfying consumers by giving them an opportunity to avail of improved network performance, which was dependable as well.

He added that these results come at a time when the company is witnessing record growth in consumer subscriptions and a 300 percent upsurge in data traffic since late 2007, when mobile broadband was first introduced in the market.

P3 formulates its results after taking into account the experience of ordinary consumers on a particular mobile network. It visits various popular websites, notes the time taken to download files of different sizes, sends emails and uses popular applications, to arrive at the final result.
