P3, the industry leader in mobile benchmarking, has announced the results of the first Mobile Benchmark for Singapore evaluating the three mobile networks M1, StarHub and Singtel. Applying the P3 methodology, which is today the acknowledged de-facto industry standard in more than 120 countries, P3 conducted a crowd-based analysis. All operators show excellent performance with scores above 900 points.
The results show:
- M1 achieves the highest score with 973 points

The analysis is based on 233 million samples collected from 27.6 thousand users overall, in 100 percent of the urban built-up area and in 97.3 percent of the non-urban built-up area throughout Singapore. The data was collected in a consecutive 6-month period from December 2018 to May 2019.

The unique crowdsourcing technology allows P3 to collect data about real-world customer experience in a truly passive way. For the collection of crowd data, P3 has integrated a background diagnosis processes into 900+ diverse Android apps. If one of these applications is installed on the end-user’s phone and the user agrees, anonymous data collection takes place 24/7, 365 days a year on this device. Reports are generated for every 15 Minutes and daily sent to P3’s cloud servers. P3’s crowd-sourcing data set is the most realistic, since it is the most diverse that is currently available in the market – in terms of locations, geography, times, devices, subscriptions, networks, technologies and smartphone usage patterns.
