Verizon Get Replied From Open Report
This is the trilogy post, if you aren’t sure of what’s going on with Verizon and Open Signal, let’s briefly recap:
On Wednesday, OpenSignal
released a report that used raw data from its crowd-sourced speed tests to compare actual performance. The resulting report had Verizon and T-Mobile in a tie.
The second day which is Thursday , Verizon tweeted a response to OpenSignal’s report and pretty much tried to dismiss their findings based on the methodology of crowd-sourced data, claiming that crowd-sourced data is not as good as “drive-testing” (riding around which does “a better job of reflecting the actual customer experience.” See the full statement below.
Yesterday,which is Friday, we received a new statement from OpenSignal about the claims that Verizon made in response to OpenSignal’s original report from two days ago.
One notable response was to Verizon’s claim that “the inability to perform a test is not counted against the results” to which OpenSignal says: “This is plain false as we can always measure when user is caught without signal and we take this into account in our metrics… The network itself can track when users have a poor signal but are still connected, but when you are completely off-grid, the only way you can track this is by measuring on the device.”
OpenSignal’s original intention was not to undermine Verizon’s previous scores, but given the statement it tweeted, Verizon didn’t seem to be impressed with the results that OpenSignal released.
