Vodafone Malta is the operator with the quickest web browsing performance, fastest file download performance, and the fastest file upload among the country’s mobile radio networks, according to an independent study by German firm P3 Communications GmbH.

Vodafone was also certified as offering the best speech quality of voice service in Malta.

The performance benchmark measurement campaign was carried out by P3 Communications, one of Europe’s leading providers of radio network testing, independent measurements and audits of service quality.

These tests were carried out between November 9 and 17 in all major localities and on the connecting roads as drive tests and outdoor stationary tests.

Vodafone Malta was awarded four P3 certifications.

Last year, Vodafone Malta, with its technology partner Nokia Siemens Networks, completed the upgrading of its radio network and introduced HSDPA and HSUPA technology – an investment of €12 million in a high-speed mobile broadband network.

Meanwhile, Vodafone Malta is giving clients the chance to try out mobile internet for free: pre-paid customers can send an SMS to 5091 5712 for a free week of internet on their mobile.

Vodafone post-paid clients and non-Vodafone customers can pick up their free pre-paid SIM from any Vodafone store. Applications must be made by February 10.

Information can be obtained by calling 247 for free from a Vodafone line or 9999 9247 from any other network. Alternatively, visit a Vodafone store or vodafone.com.mt.
