The above information was taken from the Vodafone website where you will also find scanned documents certifying the certification received by Vodafone. Until now, I had the pleasure of testing the Internet of only 2 of the mobile phone operators in Romania: Orange and RDS. The mobile internet from RDS works absolutely terrible, I tested it in several cities and I only use it because I got it for free. Internet from Orange works well, except in the evening when unfortunately you can't really use it unless you have nerves of steel and patience as much as possible. I haven't used the Internet from Cosmote and Vodafone yet, but I will be brave and start the tests with Vodafone, then I will switch to Cosmote.

Vodafone customers, what do you think about this certification? Does Vodafone deserve the title of the network with the best coverage and the fastest mobile internet in Romania?
