The overall Coverage Score for an operator is its footprint multiplied by the average quality score across its observed locations. For example, if a provider offered non-4G service in a location, that location would receive a score of 1/2. Each location is assigned a score based equally on the general and 4G service. An operator’s footprint is the fraction of locations within a given market where a device has access to service. These features are determined using data from coverage scans, which capture the real-time network conditions of Android Speedtest users across the globe. To minimize the impact of misconfigured or underperforming devices, we require coverage scans from at least two devices at each location. A location is an area that is equivalent to approximately 100 x 100m (about the size of a New York City block). Metrics are calculated using locations where coverage scans were contributed by Android Speedtest users. "Ookla’s Coverage Score captures both the number of locations in which an operator offers service (its footprint) and the quality of service in each location.
