* Vodafone Ireland’s mobile data network achieved the best download speeds of all Irish mobile operators as recorded by random customers using the Speedtest.net application for the period between January 2012 and February 2013. This result is based on over 100,000 samples from customers using iOS and Android operated smartphones submitted on a nationwide basis. Speedtest.net is the global standard in Internet connection testing and one of the most popular independent data speed verification services in the world (www.speedtest.net).

In November 2012, Vodafone’s mobile data network was measured to be the fastest overall for HTTP file upload and download performance and web page download speeds by Spirent, a global leader in network and device testing, when compared to the other major mobile operators, in independently selected locations in Dublin, Limerick, Waterford, Cork & Galway.
