The assessment was made by Commsquare on the three mobile operators in Belgium during Q4 2013. Results are based on drive tests of 4,400km with 4,100 data service tests. The test results ranked BASE's 3G network as first in the average uplink and downlink rates, surfing/Web session success rate and fast accessibility to the network and services thanks to high performance of dual carrier feature for download and enhanced uplink feature (2ms TTI).
