Mobile Network Experience South American Awards 2026

Winning Operators for 2026

[1st July – 29th December 2025]

The Mobile Network Experience South American Awards 2026 recognise excellence in mobile experience across South America. Based on real-world measurements collected directly from users’ devices over a 180-day period (see our methodology for the exact assessment window), the awards celebrate operators delivering the best overall mobile experience to their customers across the region.

For this year’s South American Awards, we evaluated performance across eight core measures of mobile experience: Time on 4G/5G, Consistent Quality, Reliability Experience, Download Speed Experience, Upload Speed Experience, Video Experience, Games Experience, and Voice App Experience.

To highlight outstanding performance, Opensignal recognises the top-performing operators in each metric with the Regional Winner and Regional Leader awards.

See our methodology for assessment details for South America.

Operator Summary

For the Mobile Network Experience South American Awards 2026, we analysed nine markets spanning 30 national operators across Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.

Unlike the recently published Global Awards, where winners were determined within large and small land-area groups, the current South American recognitions compare operators across the region as a single competitive set, regardless of land-area category. As a result, some operators that earned global recognition within their land-area division may not place in the South American rankings, while others gain recognition – reflecting how national mobile experience in each market compares at a regional level.

The summary below lists all operators featured in this analysis, with their respective recognitions.

What the awards represent

The European Awards are Opensignal’s annual assessment of real-world experience across national mobile networks in Europe. Based on billions of measurements collected directly from user devices during the 180 days of the second half of 2025 (1st July – 29th December, 2025), the awards recognize the operators delivering the best performance today.

Winners & Leaders

Global Winner

South American Regional Winners

Operator(s) ranked top 1 in each metric. Multiple Winners are possible when their confidence intervals overlap with the highest scoring experience.

Global Leader

South American Regional Leaders

After identifying the Regional Winners, the Regional Leader designation begins with the next highest non-overlapping operator(s). To ensure broad recognition, for the South American region the methodology assigns a minimum of 3 combined Regional Winners and Regional Leaders. For example, if there are 2 Winners, at least the next 1 operator is designated as a Leader. If the last Leader’s confidence interval overlaps with other operators, those operators are also included.

To reflect the varying ways in which mobile networks are used, we have included nine core measures of user experience:

Download Speed

Download Speed Experience

Measures the typical everyday download speeds a user experiences across an operator’s mobile data networks (measured in Mbps).

Upload Speed

Upload Speed Experience

Measures the average upload speeds for each operator observed by our users across their mobile data networks (measured in Mbps).

Video Experience

Video Experience

Measures the quality of video streamed to mobile devices by measuring real-world video streams over an operator's network.

Games Experience

Games Experience

Measures how mobile users experience real-time multiplayer mobile gaming on an operator’s network.

Voice Experience

Voice App Experience

Measures the quality of experience for over-the-top (OTT) voice services on an operator’s network.

Reliability Experience

Reliability Experience

Composite measure of users’ ability to connect to and successfully complete basic online tasks on a network. Reliability Experience incorporates measures of time connected, data connectivity, task completion, and whether tasks are completed at satisfactory level of experience.

Time on 4G/5G

Time on 4G/5G

Measures the proportion of time all users on an operator’s network spent on either a 4G or 5G connection.

Consistent Quality

Consistent Quality

Measures if the network is sufficient to support common mobile application requirements at a level that is ‘good enough’ for users to maintain (or complete) various typical tasks on their devices.
