Methodology
To determine Speedtest Awards winners for mobile networks, we use results from “modern devices” to
aid in the analysis of a mobile user’s average speeds. "Modern Devices" results include all mobile tests,
regardless of connection technology used, as long as they were taken on devices that are identified as
being capable of achieving the fastest speeds available in a country. Each top carrier accounts for at
least 3% of the sample size in the geographic area.

How Speed Score Works
The Speedtest Awards for top providers in speed are determined using a Speed Score that
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.

Ookla compared user-initiated tests taken on the Speedtest iOS and Android mobile apps from all
the major mobile carriers in Chile over the award period to determine who was the fastest. Based on

their users than the other major providers in Chile with average download speeds of 19.48 Mbps and
average upload speeds of 8.55 Mbps on LTE-capable devices.
