Five key findings will be published here once the editorial team picks them from the data. The candidates below are derived directly from this quarter's numbers — not auto-published:

1. Zetexa leads the Q2 2026 leaderboard with a A- grade (score 86/100) based on 4 of 8 dimensions.

8. In 5G Access, Amigo eSIM tops the field at 90 while Latam Travellers sits at 50 — a 40-point spread across 62 scored providers.
