Mobile Experience Awards
Market Overview
Movistar is the most awarded operator in this report — with ten awards won outright and another three won jointly. Movistar wins the Best Network award, supported by outright wins in Download Speed Experience, Consistent Quality and Reliability Experience, plus joint win in Time on Network. DIGI is the only other operator to win outright recognitions — it takes both 5G speed awards and also shares the 5G Video Experience award with Movistar.
Spain remains a large, highly competitive mobile market, with 61 million mobile lines, with Movistar standing as the market’s largest network operator. Telefónica says Movistar reached 95% 5G coverage by December 2025, with 5G SA available in more than 5,700 municipalities and nationwide VoNR launched in 2025. Its position has also been reinforced by rural 5G funding, a wholesale MOCN deal, and a DIGI sharing deal.
MasOrange has emerged as the clearest scaled challenger following the Orange–MásMóvil joint venture. The group declared the most 5G sites in 2024, while the company says it has achieved 93% 5G coverage in the last quarter. The merger also brings Yoigo fully inside the MasOrange perimeter, with network integration already affecting site rationalization.
Vodafone Spain, now under Zegona ownership after the May 2024 acquisition, remains a significant national player but with a smaller 5G footprint than the competing market leaders. Vodafone targets 90% population coverage by December 2025 and plans to extend 5G to 4,788 municipalities by end-2026.
In this report we examine the mobile network experience of the five main mobile network operators in Spain — Movistar, Orange, Vodafone, DIGI and Yoigo — over a period of 90 days starting on January 1, 2026, and ending on March 31, 2026, to see how they fared.

Movistar and Vodafone fall into the Very Good (68-78) category, while Orange, DIGI and Yoigo are one tier lower in Good (58-68). A Very Good rating indicates that users are, on average, able to stream video at 1080p or better with satisfactory loading times and little stalling, while a Good rating means users are, on average, able to stream at 720p or better with satisfactory loading times and little stalling. Video Experience scores account for adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR), enabling Opensignal to accurately represent users' real video experience including streams up to 4K quality.
Definitions
Opensignal’s Video Experience quantifies the quality of video streamed to mobile devices by measuring real-world video streams over an operator's networks. The metric is based on an International Telecommunication Union (ITU) approach, built upon detailed studies which have derived a relationship between technical parameters, including picture quality, video loading time and stall rate, with the perceived video experience as reported by real people. To calculate video experience, we are directly measuring video streams from end-user devices and using this ITU approach to quantify the overall video experience for each operator on a scale from 0 to 100. The videos tested include a mixture of resolutions — including Full HD (FHD) and 4K / Ultra HD (UHD) — and are streamed directly from the world’s largest video content providers.
In addition to Video Experience, we report on the following metrics related to video experience:
- 5G Video Experience: The average Video Experience of Opensignal users when they were connected to an operator’s 5G network.
- Video Experience – 5G Users: The average Video Experience of Opensignal users with a 5G device and a 5G subscription across an operator's networks. It factors in 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G video experience along with the availability of each technology.
- 4G Video Experience: The average Video Experience of Opensignal users on an operator's 4G network.
- 3G Video Experience: The average Video Experience of Opensignal users on an operator’s 3G network.

Orange and DIGI share third place with statistically tied scores of 76.4–76.6 points, while Yoigo ranks fourth with 75.3 points. Since the last report, Movistar and Yoigo have each increased their scores by nine points, Orange has increased by eight points, and Vodafone has increased by six points. All operators are rated Good (75–85), meaning most users deem the experience acceptable, gameplay is generally controllable with immediate feedback between actions and outcomes, and most users do not experience a delay between their actions and the game.
Definitions
Opensignal’s Games Experience measures how mobile users experience real-time multiplayer mobile gaming on an operator’s network. Measured on a scale of 0-100, it analyzes how our users’ multiplayer mobile gaming experience is affected by mobile network conditions including latency, packet loss and jitter.
Games Experience quantifies the experience when playing real-time multiplayer mobile games on mobile devices connected to servers located around the world. The approach is built on several years of research quantifying the relationship between technical network parameters and the gaming experience as reported by real mobile users. These parameters include latency (round trip time), jitter (variability of latency) and packet loss (the proportion of data packets that never reach their destination). Additionally, it considers multiple genres of multiplayer mobile games to measure the average sensitivity to network conditions. The games tested include some of the most popular real-time multiplayer mobile games (such as Fortnite, Pro Evolution Soccer and Arena of Valor) played around the world.
Calculating Games Experience starts with measuring the end-to-end experience from users’ devices to internet end-points that host real games. The score is then measured on a scale from 0 to 100.
In addition to Games Experience, we report on the following metrics related to games experience:
- 5G Games Experience: The average Games Experience of Opensignal users when they were connected to an operator’s 5G network.

Coverage
National Analysis
Orange and Movistar, who jointly won the Time on Network award in the previous report, do so again in this report with statistically tied scores of 98.8-98.9%, leading by around less than one percentage point over second-placed Yoigo, DIGI and Vodafone, which are statistically tied at 98.3-98.5%. Since the previous report, Yoigo’s and Vodafone’s scores have each increased by less than one percentage point, while Orange’s and Movistar’s scores have not changed a significant amount.
Prior to Q4 2025, Time on Network was referred to as Availability in Opensignal reports.
Definitions
Our time on network and availability metrics are not measures of a network’s geographical extent. They won’t tell you whether you are likely to get a signal if you plan to visit a remote rural or nearly uninhabited region. Instead, they measure what proportion of time people have a network connection, in the places they most commonly frequent — something often missed by traditional coverage metrics. Looking at when users have a connection rather than where, provides us with a more precise reflection of the true user experience.
We also keep track of the instances that leave mobile users most frustrated: when there is no signal to connect to at all. The most common dead zones users struggle with occur indoors. As most of our time on network data is collected indoors (as that’s where users spend most of their time), we’re particularly astute at detecting areas of zero signal.
Our time on network and availability metrics take a user-centric, time-based approach that complements the user-centric and geographical-based methodology used by our reach metrics.
Time on Network shows the proportion of time all Opensignal users on an operator’s network had either a 3G, 4G or 5G connection.

Movistar, which won the Time on 5G award in the previous report, wins it outright again in this report with a score of 45.2%, leading second-placed Orange by 14 percentage points (31.3%). Vodafone ranks third with 17.7%, followed by DIGI in fourth place with 16.8% and Yoigo in fifth with 14.8%. Since the previous report, Movistar and Orange have each increased their scores by seven percentage points, Vodafone has improved by three percentage points, and Yoigo’s score hasn’t changed a significant amount.
Time on 5G measures the percentage of time users with a 5G device are actively connected to a 5G network bearer, indicating how often data traffic is actually carried over 5G rather than 4G.

Consistency
National Analysis
After winning the Consistent Quality award in the previous report, Movistar takes the award outright in this report with a score of 81%, leading second-placed Orange on 78.8% by two percentage points. Yoigo ranks third with 77.6%, followed by Vodafone in fourth on 76.6% and DIGI in fifth on 74%. Since the last report, Yoigo and Vodafone have each increased their scores by one percentage point, while Movistar and Orange have each improved by less than one percentage point. This metric measures whether 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 demanding tasks on their devices, assessing experience indicators including download speed, upload speed, latency, jitter, packet loss, and time to first byte.
Definitions
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.
We combine different experience indicators such as download throughput, upload throughput, latency, jitter, packet discard, and time to first byte to calculate Consistent Quality. These components are evaluated against thresholds recommended by various more demanding common applications used for a range of common tasks.
To calculate the metric value, the proportion of tests that pass the requirements of Consistent Quality is multiplied by the test success ratio, which is the proportion of completed tests to all tests conducted. Tests that pass indicate that activities such as video calling, uploading an image to social media, or using smart home applications will be possible without noticeable lag or slowdown.
National Analysis
After Vodafone won the Reliability Experience award in the previous report, Movistar takes the award outright in this report with 915 points on a 100-1000 point scale, leading second-placed Vodafone by three points (913). Orange ranks third with 909 points, followed by Yoigo in fourth with 900 points and DIGI in fifth with 844 points. Compared with the last report, scores have risen across the board: Yoigo is up 26 points, Movistar up 21, Orange up 12 and Vodafone up seven.
Opensignal’s Reliability Experience measures the ability of our users to connect to and successfully complete (basic) tasks on operators’ networks. It consists of the following components:
% time connected — The proportion of time Opensignal users can successfully connect to a mobile network
Data Connectivity — the proportion of time when the network is available and the device can connect to the internet
Task completion — whether tasks initiated by the user’s device are completed
Sufficiency — The probability that (basic) tasks will be executed sufficiently well for the user
Definitions
Opensignal’s Reliability Experience measures the ability of Opensignal users to connect to and successfully complete (basic) tasks on communication service providers’ (CSP) networks. It analyzes how much Opensignal users’ experience is affected by the radio access and core network, along with issues that prevent them from connecting to the internet even if they have a connection to their CSP’s network. It also factors in users’ ability to successfully use lower performance applications including SD video, over-the-top voice calls and web browsing.

Confidence Intervals
For every metric we calculate statistical confidence intervals indicated on our graphs. When confidence intervals overlap, our measured results are too close to declare a winner. In those cases, we show a statistical draw. For this reason, some metrics have multiple operator winners.
In our bar graphs we represent confidence intervals as boundaries on either sides of graph bars.
In our supporting-metric charts we show confidence intervals as +/- numerical values.
