How Speed Score Works

When analyzing fastest operators, Ookla solely considers top carriers (all carriers with 3% or more of total
test samples in the market for the period). We then determine the fastest carrier using Speed Score which
incorporates a measure of each provider’s download and upload speed to rank network speed performance
(90% of the final Speed Score is attributed to download speed and the remaining 10% to upload speed). The
Speed Score uses a modified trimean to demonstrate the download and upload speeds that are available
across a provider’s network. We take speeds from the 10th percentile, 50th percentile (also known as the
median), and 90th percentile, and combine them in a weighted average using a 1:2:1 ratio, respectively. We
place the most emphasis on the download speeds and median speeds as those represent what most network
providers’ customers will experience on a day-to-day basis.
