Omnitele conducted an independent benchmarking campaign in Albania in June 2025, assessing the network quality and service experience. The benchmark measurements compared the voice, data and application services in ONE and Vodafone networks. Measured areas included 10 cities and main connecting roads between the cities.

Both operators have started large-scale 5G deployment in Albania. 5G deployment has had a significant impact on the service experience. Typically, 5G deployment directly impacts the download speed benchmark, as 5G can provide a significant boost to the download performance, whereas the impact on upload speeds is somewhat more limited.

Between the Omnitele benchmark in 2024 and 2025, the average download speed has improved by over 70 %. Also, average upload speed has improved by over 30 %. Application performance results have also improved, allowing the users to load web sites faster, have faster access to higher quality video streaming and post content, such as pictures, quicker to social media.
