Sweden: Telia voted best mobile network for 6th year running
January 15, 2026
Telia has achieved both the highest overall score and a win in every category in umlaut’s latest annual benchmark of Swedish mobile networks. It’s the sixth consecutive year that the company’s network has been recognised as the best in the country by umlaut’s independent and internationally recognised assessment.
In the 2025 benchmark, Telia’s mobile network scored a total of 970 points of a possible 1,000. The score combines network measurements and crowdsourced data collected via mobile apps.
Anders Olsson, Head of Telia Sweden: “Being recognised by umlaut as Sweden’s best mobile network year after year shows our investments benefit customers and society. Speed, capacity and reliability are essential for today’s digital consumers and businesses. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far – and we’re not stopping here. Telia’s recently completed extensive modernisation programme, together with our ongoing network investments, will enable us to meet evolving demands for security, preparedness, innovation and new services.”
The umlaut benchmark includes four categories: voice services, data services, crowdsourced quality and reliability.
For 2025, Telia received 267 points of a possible 270 in voice services; 471 points of a possible 480 in data services; and 232 points of a possible 250 in crowdsourced quality. In reliability, a category introduced for the first time this year, Telia scored 595 points from a possible 600.
Today, Telia’s mobile network covers 99.9 per cent of Sweden’s population and more than 94 per cent of the country’s land area. As of Q3 2025, Telia had 3.88 million mobile postpaid subscribers in Sweden, spanning consumers, businesses, critical social services and more.
