Companies of mobile
telephony operate in a highly competitive market. Subscribers, with the
possibilities given to them to change the operators, can easily change network
based on the services offered to them. Due to this, all mobile operators which
aim to grow and establish a better position in the market they operate, are
involved permanently in offering better services for their current and
pretended subscribers.

The quality, the
speed and all related values to data offered are fields which the operators in
Albania aim to improve. From 4 Mobile Operators in Albania, 3 of them offer 4G
LTE data service.

This paper focus on
measuring how real the data values declared by them are and how good is the
quality of 4G LTE service offered. Through this paper we will discuss over
different measures made in Tirana city related to rate fluctuation of uplink
and downlink throughput of data service. The measures are located in 6
different points in Tirana city, which are chosen based on the traffic rate.
Measures (made at the same day and time for all the operators in order to have
equality) are realized through a Huawei LTE modem for FTP DL/UL.
