There’s already a lot to love about Oklahoma City. From big-league attractions like a pro basketball team to a revitalized downtown area, starring the Bricktown Entertainment District, Paycom Center, and top-notch museums, Oklahoma City has plenty to offer. One more thing the locals can now enjoy is an improved mobile experience, especially those in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Utilizing our Crowd SiteIntel platform, where we visualize and analyze trillions of crowdsourced data points, we noted multiple new T-Mobile Cell IDs appearing in Capitol Hill beginning in early 2021 (indicated by red circles on the map below). We then compared mobile signal readings from June through November 2020 to mobile signal readings from June through November 2021. Here’s what we found:

This week’s Mobile Experience Competition takes us to South America for a comparison of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru’s most populous cities. In this comparison we will be focusing on readings detected in the fringe coverage and no signal ranges to see which city has the greatest need for network improvements.

This week’s Battle for Best Mobile Experience takes us to Europe for a comparison of 10 of its largest cities. As in previous comparisons, we’re going to be examining the following: In which cities would you most likely find a strong signal? In which cities would you most likely drop a call or have difficulty sending/receiving texts? In which cities would you most likely receive no signal?

When we looked into the mobile experience of each city to find indicators of a digital divide, we saw that Niles, Michigan had an average of 90% poor or no signal readings while South Bend, Indiana had an average of just 28%.

When we looked into the mobile experience of each city to find indicators of a digital divide, we saw that Washington, DC had an average of 40% poor or no signal readings while Washington, VA, had an average of 71%. If we look solely at the percentage of no signal readings in both cities, we see that in Washington, VA there is an average of 10% no signal readings while it's only 1% in Washington, DC. The likelihood of having no signal is 10X higher in Washington, VA than it is in Washington, DC.

When we looked into the mobile experience of each city to find indicators of a digital divide, we saw that Bell Bowrie had an average of 78% poor and no signal readings while West End Brisbane has an average of just 20%.
