Connect Broadband Test: Salt Number 1, with Outstanding
Score of 987/1000
Just last week, Salt achieved the highest score of 987 points out of a maximum of 1000 in the Connect
Magazine fixed broadband test. Salt was recognised as the best regional provider with an "outstanding" rating
among all Swiss operators. With a coverage of 2 million households across Switzerland, Salt expands its fiber
broadband coverage every month, as the national Fiber to the Home (FTTH) footprint increases.
The trade magazine Connect tested the performance of the fixed network in Switzerland - for the first time basedon the proven crowdsourcing methodology carried out by the consulting firm Umlaut, part of Accenture. Under
most stringent criteria the test has never been more precise: a programme was installed on various apps onusers' smartphones and tablets to analyse different subscriptions, technologies, and even factors like fluctuating
WLAN-connections. Maintaining its exceptional track record, Salt has achieved the highest score (987 points outof a maximum of 1000), resulting in an “outstanding” rating and recognition as the best regional provider. In
particular, Salt scored highest of all other regional and national providers for data download and upload speeds.
This recognition once again validates that Salt’s fiber-based offer gives its subscribers the best performance at ahighly competitive price, with Salt emerging as the smart choice for its subscribers. Alongside the May 2023
recognition by Connect Magazine as the best for customer satisfaction in the DACH region, Salt’s offer captivatesan increasing number of customers choosing Salt Home for their broadband needs.
