3 also performs best for latency test on 4G

Based on the crowdsourced data collected between March - May 2019, 3 came out on top for the best average latency result with 13.3 ms on the 4G network. On the 3G network, Telenor performed best out of the four providers with a result of 28.4 ms. However, its 4G result narrowly put it in fourth place. 

Telia performs best for average download speeds

Telia performs best across the country for its average download speeds on the 3G and 4G networks, with a result of 23.54 Mbps. The average upload speed for Telia also performs well, sitting at 10.24 Mbps. And as Telia's 5G partnership program continues to expand and is looking to launch 5G commercially in Sweden in 2020, there should be continued improvements to its performance. 

Telenor sits in second place with an average download speed of 18.98 Mbps and an upload speed of 9.50 Mbps. 

Our findings for Sweden are based on 7.51 billion network quality measurements including 1.45 million speed tests between March and May. Our latest complimentary Mobile Experience Report is available to download from the Tutela Insights portal.
