the umlaut and connect FIXED-LINE NETWORK TEST IN GERMANY

Starting in 2023, umlaut and connect use umlaut’s sophisticated Crowdsourcing methodology to also test fixed-line networks in Germany.

Fixed-line tests have been part of connect’s repertoire since 2009.
After having used a different methodology for 13 years, connect decided in 2023 to change its fixed-line testing approach to umlaut’s crowdsourcing methodology. The first fixed-line network test based on this new methodology was published in summer 2023.

The new approach focuses on of the performance and qua­lity actually experienced by custo­mers with their connections. Another advantage is that the results of our fixed-­network tests are now also more comparable between different countries.

Detailed descriptions not only of the identified KPIS and the overall results, but also of the key figures of the benchmarking as well as of the underlying methodology can be found in the PDF reports which are available in German in English language under the download button below.
