Coverage
Network everywhere, and of good quality
Coverage rates the quality of the mobile network: own or leased network, priority at peak times, 4G and 5G coverage measured by the BIPT, and reception inside buildings.
01
What this criterion measures
Own / leased network
25 %An operator that owns its network (MNO) controls its quality better than one that rents it (MVNO).
Network priority
25 %At peak times, customers of the network owner take precedence over those who lease it.
4G coverage
25 %The percentage of the Belgian population covered by 4G (BIPT measurements).
5G coverage
15 %5G coverage, more recent — the differences between operators are more pronounced.
Indoor
10 %The quality of reception inside buildings.
02
How to read the score
National averages
The scores are national averages from the IBPT's official measurements. Many operators share the same network: VOO uses Orange's, BASE uses Telenet's, Scarlet and Mobile Vikings use Proximus's — their coverage inherits it directly.
Your actual coverage depends on your exact address. The BLOXI questionnaire will check it precisely at your home.
