Colombia’s three network operators all provided similar speeds across both 3G and 4G networks in the last three months of 2017. That said, Tigo pipped the post at 4.4 Mbps, based on our analysis of almost 36 million data records. When looking at 4G speeds alone, Movistar was just out in front with 7.0 Mbps compared to Tigo’s 6.9 Mbps.

That said, in terms of overall network quality, taking into account speed, jitter, latency and packet loss, Tigo is also just out in front with good latency and packet loss performance. Therefore, Tigo subscribers will have likely benefited from better performance than other network users.

About our testing
Tutela tests mobile networks by crowdsourcing anonymous sensor data from hundreds of millions of Android and iOS mobile users across the world. This enables us to collect billions of measurements every day and gain a real-world understanding of the mobile experience that mobile users are getting - not just in major towns & cities, but in all parts of the world.
Our testing methodology is designed to simulate typical user mobile behaviour, such as downloading a photograph or web page, rather than measuring the maximum performance, such as the peak download speed during a very large file transfer (which very few users will achieve) so that we can understand a typical user's experience.
