The numbers are all meaningless to everyone but opensignal since they're proprietary.
"The proportion of time users have an LTE signal, or LTE 'Time Coverage', is our proprietary metric for looking at coverage holistically, instead of just as a measurement of geographical reach. "
The Canadian numbers are problematic for a few reasons:
1) LTE mainly means you can run through your (typically <= 1gb/month) "bucket" in about 5 minutes, with overage charges starting from the first byte over. So what's the point of LTE is artificially constrained?
Contrast this with France where providers give you a bigger LTE bandwidth cap because it's more spectrally efficient.
2) There are several non-overlapping LTE providers. If one provider has LTE in an area but yours does not, you cannot roam to the other. So what's the point of measuring if a user could get an LTE signal?
