Campaign 'Check Your Network' Calls on Users to Test Connectivity

Germany's mobile networks have improved in recent years; however, there are still regions with inadequate mobile connectivity. To better capture the quality of these networks, the campaign "Check Your Network" is calling on all mobile users to test their connections and report the results. The initiative is supported by various organizations committed to improving mobile infrastructure. The goal is to collect user experiences and raise awareness of existing issues. The data collected is intended to pressure network operators to enhance the quality of their services.

Participants can submit their test results via a dedicated app or website. The campaign aims to obtain a comprehensive picture of network coverage in Germany. Users are encouraged to document their experiences regarding call quality, data transmission, and connection dropouts. The test results will be anonymized and aggregated to create a realistic depiction of network quality across different regions. The initiative enjoys broad public support, as many users are affected by existing coverage gaps.

The collected data will also be made available to policymakers to emphasize the need for investment in infrastructure. Mobile operators have made significant investments in expanding their networks in recent years. Nevertheless, according to recent reports, there are still numerous areas where network coverage is insufficient. The "Check Your Network" campaign could help highlight these gaps and motivate providers to improve their services. The initiative is accompanied by various media and social networks to achieve maximum outreach.

Users are encouraged to share their experiences and motivate others to participate. The initiative could also lead to mobile operators being compelled to rethink their expansion plans and respond more swiftly to customer needs. The results of the tests are expected to be published in the coming months. Organizers plan to regularly update the collected data to document the progress of network operators. An initial interim report is anticipated for autumn 2026 to present the first findings from the tests.

The "Check Your Network" campaign is an important step towards improving mobile quality in Germany. The initiative could help ensure that users in both rural and urban areas benefit from better network coverage. Mobile operators are under pressure to optimize their services and increase user satisfaction. The campaign is supported by various organizations, including consumer centers and network specialists. These groups advocate for mobile operators to take their commitments to improve network quality seriously. Users are invited to submit their test results by December 31, 2026, to support the initiative.
