Fastweb is confirmed as Italy's fastest mobile operator for the second time in a row, according to Ookla, the world leader in testing applications and data analysis for fixed and mobile networks, which developed Speedtest®. Ookla awarded Fastweb with the prestigious Speedtest Award™ for providing the fastest mobile network speed in the third and fourth quarter of 2022 and the first half of 2023.
In the first half of 2023, Ookla compared the results of 294,622 tests conducted by Fastweb customers in Italy using the Speedtest mobile apps, for iOS and Android devices, and calculated each operator's "Speed Score." The mobile network achieved an average value of 97.84 in download and 12.64 Mbps in upload, with a combined "Speed Score" of 91.31, the highest reported in Italy 30 % higher than the second ranked operator.
With this second award, Fastweb consolidates its positioning as a converged player and its technological leadership for the country's digital transformation, including through the development of the 5G mobile network capable of enabling high-performance next-generation mobile services.
