Vodafone Romania earns a new independent recognition for its network performance in 2026, being named “Test Champion” by P3 and receiving the “Unified Network Excellence” distinction, this time highlighting its integrated network following the acquisition of Telekom, across the 10 counties included in the assessment. This year’s P3 recognition adds to the umlaut “Best in Test” certification and the Ookla “Best 5G Network” and “Fastest 5G Network” awards, completing a series of endorsements of Vodafone’s performance from three independent organisations.
“A network’s performance is measured by what it enables people to do: stay closer to their loved ones, work together even remotely, and turn ideas into reality. The P3 recognition, this time for our integrated network across the 10 counties assessed, adds to the endorsements received this year from umlaut and Ookla. For us, these results confirm the performance of our now stronger network, without making recognition an ultimate goal. We focus on what connectivity makes possible: bringing people closer together and opening new opportunities through technology,” said Nicolae Vîlceanu, Network Director, Vodafone Romania.
“Integrating networks following an acquisition is a complex undertaking. Our assessment shows that Vodafone Romania’s integrated network delivers strong performance and a reliable customer experience across the areas tested. The ‘Test Champion’ recognition reflects this achievement,” added Hakan Ekmen, CEO of P3 communications.
The new assessment analyses the performance of the integrated network and the connectivity experience provided to customers in the areas assessed. With 7,298 points, Vodafone Romania achieved a result that, according to P3, demonstrates network quality and reliability, as well as customer experience. The assessment took place between April and September2026 and covered the counties of Buzău, Cluj, Dolj, Gorj, Hunedoara, Neamț, Olt, Prahova, Teleorman and Vâlcea.
The recognition awarded to Vodafone Romania is based on P3’s independent methodology, applied consistently worldwide to assess network quality, customer experience and service performance, including readiness for artificial intelligence adoption.
