Being at the top for three consecutive quarters in mobile broadband service is what T-Mobile has achieved if the findings of a recent survey are to be believed. However, it would be best to take the results with a pinch of salt as the survey was commissioned by none other than T-Mobile itself.

The survey, conducted by an independent testing agency, P3 Solutions, found T-Mobile providing the fastest web browsing experience and the most reliable email performance. Moreover, the upload speeds of its service were found to be 44 percent faster than the closest rival.

P3 Solutions tried to replicate the real-life experience of customers while using the mobile broadband service from different mobile network providers. Testers went to popular sites, used common applications and noted the download speeds that they were getting for different kinds of files. At the end of the process it was found that T-Mobile was at top in most of the service aspects.

When speaking about the results, Emin Gurdenli, chief technology officer at T-Mobile UK, said that he considers better network performance and reliability as the hallmarks of T-Mobile, which has led to a huge growth in the number of T-Mobile customers. Of course the data traffic has also increased tremendously along with the user base, registering a 300% growth since 2007.

T-Mobile had also previously emerged as the best service provider in six categories out of thirteen in a recent independent YouGov survey – for more info on the best mobile broadband deals take a look at a dedicated mobile broadband website.
