Speaking about this year's results Scott Stonham, RootMetrics General Manager of Europe said: “EE continues to provide the best mobile performance across the UK, but we’re seeing some of the other operators making good improvements across all the different ways we use our mobile phones,
“Choosing the mobile operator that’s right for you is not one-size-fits-all. While some people care most about fast mobile internet so they can watch videos or download music without delay, others just want to know that they can reliably make a call or send a text.
"Consumers can use this report to make informed decisions based on where they live and how they tend to use their phone.”
