SoftBank best carrier for high-speed smartphones

WHow satisfied are you with your smartphone? graph of japanese statisticsMobile Marketing Data Labo recently performed a survey into true feelings about one?s mobile carrier?s network, and found SoftBank?s reputation for being a poor network is ill-deserved.

Demographics

Between the 1st and 4th of April 2013 1,200 smartphone-owning members of the MMD monitor panel completed a private internet-based questionniare. Each of the three major carriers, docomo, au and SoftBank, were represented by 400 people. No further demographics information was given.

Note that one reason for the high degree of satisfaction amongst SoftBank users is that the iPhone is their main smartphone, and we all know that Apple users always rank themselves the most satisfied when it comes to these sorts of stories. I wonder how much this Apple love rubs off on the user?s impression of the ease snd speed of connection questions?
