Mobile internet improving in Belgium

The quality of mobile internet service has improved significantly in Belgium in the past few years, according to consumer organisation Test-Achats. Proximus continues to offer the best quality, while Base recently surpassed Mobistar. Overall network coverage for mobile internet has also improved, says Test-Achats, which clocked up 1,600 km by car and 760 km by train in order to measure signal quality. According to the organisation, 3G coverage and transmission speeds have gone up for all providers country-wide. Proximus, however, continues to lead, with an average mobile network speed that is three times higher than that of Mobistar. Base moves up to second place, with a rate twice as high as that of Mobistar.
