Rogers acknowledged the study today in a press release, noting the results confirm “Rogers customers enjoy the best wireless network experience in the country,” and also puts the company “among the top wireless carriers worldwide benchmarked by umlaut.”

“Connectivity has never been more important, especially during the ongoing health crisis, so we are proud to offer our customers the reliability of Canada’s best wireless network when they need it most,” said Jorge Fernandes, Chief Technology Officer, Rogers Communications, in a statement.
Rogers says this marks the second year in it a row it has claimed the crown in the “Best in Test” mobile benchmark. The company says umlaut “also confirmed that Rogers provides the best network in five of the top cities in Canada, including Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.”
