OpenSignal designated services within the 68-78 range as “Very Good,” which means users can stream video at 1080p or better with minimal buffering or lag while on the carrier’s 5G. Rogers’ score of 77.7 means that OpenSignal found the carrier’s service reliably smooth on average.
The only other Canadian carrier to finish in the top 20 was Telus, whose 5G video experience earned a 76.4. Bell did not finish in the top 20 for 5G Video Experience, though it did finish fifth for 5G Voice App Experience.
Rogers was named the most reliable wireless network in Canada in a 2023 report from umlaut. The OpenSignal award seems to prove that further. Despite the fact that its network is smaller than both Bell's and Telus', the carrier continues to be rated highly for its service.
