In this setup, refuse collection vehicles are installed with four off-the-shelf Smartphones using software from <a href=\"https:\/\/streetwave.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Streetwave<\/a> on top, which run continuous network tests (once every 20 metres in rural areas and 5m in urban areas) as the vehicles go about their routes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> The latest survey took place between the 20th and the 31st of May 2024. Measurements from all network generations (2G-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a>) were recorded, collecting a total of 6.2 million data samples. Powys has a population of 132,000 and is by far the largest county in Wales.<\/div>\n<p>The data this produces is typically much more accurate than the flaky estimates of mobile coverage that are so often produced by network operators and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>, which is because bin lorries need to go down almost every single road in order to conduct their collections and do so on a weekly basis. Suffice to say that this makes them a uniquely useful resource for conducting this sort of study.<\/p>\n<p>Streetwave itself typically deems an operator to have delivered &#8220;<em>Good Coverage<\/em>&#8221; where their network provides users with mobile broadband performance of at least 5Mbps download, 2Mbps upload, and below 40ms (milliseconds) latency. These are said to be speeds where &#8220;<em>most ordinary use cases<\/em>&#8221; including internet browsing, video streaming or conference calls can be performed.<\/p>\n<p>The average level of &#8220;<em>Good Coverage<\/em>&#8221; across the operators in <strong>Powys<\/strong> was found to be just 40%. But Streetwave also identified &#8220;<em>large areas affected by total not-spots&#8221;<\/em> in the region. Across 20.4% of Powys, there was not a single operator who could deliver download speeds above 5Mbps. Likewise, across 35.9% of Powys, no operators could deliver upload speeds above 2Mbps.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Levels of Good Mobile Coverage in Powys (May 2024)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>Mobile Operator<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>\u2018Good Coverage\u2019 in Powys<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\">1 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>)<\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">49%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\">2 \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">46%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\">3 \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a>)<\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">39%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\">4 \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">26%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>In addition, the survey also identified areas that could deliver so-called &#8220;<em>Essential Coverage<\/em>&#8220;, which reflects locations able to deliver performance of at least 1Mbps download, 0.5Mbps upload speeds and below 100ms latency.
