GO has the best mobile network in Malta, according to research carried out by Net Check GmbH, a leading, independent German firm specialising in performance testing of mobile networks.

The research, conducted nationwide, also showed GO’s mobile internet service to be significantly faster than that of any of its competitors.

Net Check’s research covered network coverage, voice quality, and data quality.

Overall, GO came out on top, particularly in mobile internet, where its network demonstrated a significant advantage over competing networks. In fact, in urban areas, GO’s 4G mobile internet network delivered an average download speed of 85.4 Mbps compared to the runner-up which had an average download speed of 56.8 Mbps, GO said.

Outside of urban areas, GO delivered an average download speed of 79Mbps, compared to the runner-up which had an average download speed of 55Mbps. These results were based on 6,000 samples of mobile internet service and 2,000 samples of voice service taken simultaneously for each operator over a route covering more than 400 kilometres across all Malta and Gozo.

To celebrate being the fastest network in Malta, GO said it would be offering all new, renewing or upgrading Pay Monthly customers on either Limitless 1+, Limitless 2+, or Limitless 3+, an additional 10GB of data over and above existing offers for the first 30 days. The offer will be valid until August 31.
