TIM has Italy’s highest quality network according to Opensignal

Telecommunication infrastructures represent the technological backbone of the country, and the recent analyses conducted by Opensignal confirm TIM‘s strong position across the national territory.

The independent body, globally recognized for measuring user experience related to connectivity, has positioned the Italian operator in first place for overall quality expressed by both the fixed network and the mobile network.

TIM first in network quality in Italy, according to Opensignal

The fundamental parameter on which this primacy is based is Consistent Quality, a statistical indicator that rigorously evaluates the ability of the infrastructure to maintain stable and continuous performance during common digital activities, ranging from simple web browsing to high-definition streaming, up to work videoconferencing.

On this front, measurements yielded a score 80 for home and office connections, and 79.2 for cellular networks.

Beyond the overall signal stability, the reports highlight significant results in specific areas of digital entertainment, sectors that require particularly stringent parameters such as a low latency and a minimum packet loss.

TIM has indeed achieved excellent results in the categories Video Experience, recording a score of 69.5, and Games Experience, where it reached a value of 75.6.

5G performance in urban centers

A particularly relevant chapter of the report concerns the development and performance of the 5G standard, an area where TIM shows superiority in terms of peak speed in the main Italian metropolitan areas.

Measurements conducted in Milano showed average speeds of 248.4 Mbps down and 24.8 Mbps up. Likewise, in Rome, the next-generation network reached 223 Mbps down and 23.5 Mbps up.

It is however important to clarify, to provide a complete picture, that competition remains heated on the front of overall signal availability; in some rural areas, other operators show higher percentages of coverage at the time of connection, outlining two different strategies between those who privilege absolute performance in large centers and those who aim for a more capillary diffusion of the technology.

How were the measurements conducted?

The gathered data derive from direct measurements taken on the devices of end users, net of any environmental distortions or temporary congestion.

Specifically, the results are collected in the document “Opensignal Awards – Europe: Fixed Broadband Experience Report” published in February 2026, with tests conducted between October 2 and December 30, 2025, and in the report “Opensignal Awards – Italy: Mobile Network Experience Report” published in December 2025, based on measurements carried out between September 1 and November 29, 2025.
