Our method
Our picks come from over 3,500 speed tests run by people using the CoverageMap app in Yorkshire and the Humber. We look at how fast each network is and how often it slows down. No carrier pays for its ranking.
Every carrier gets 0 to 10 scores inspired by the CoverageMap API's scoring, adapted to a whole area so each one agrees with the numbers we show:
Outside the US there is no coverage data to measure how much of the area each network reaches, so there is no coverage rating. In performance, failed tests count half as much because some fail for reasons that have nothing to do with the network. The overall score weighs reliability 60% and performance 40%, and our pick has the best overall score. Each activity uses the measurements that matter for it: latency for gaming and video calls, download speed for streaming, and fast, steady speeds both ways for home internet.
We need at least 25 speed tests in Cottingham to rate speeds locally, and 10 for each carrier before we compare its speeds. With fewer tests, we use a larger nearby area.
