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.

MPT Q1-Q2 Performance

Ookla compared user-initiated tests taken on the Speedtest iOS and Android mobile apps from all

the major mobile carriers in Myanmar over the award period to determine who was the fastest. Based

on our data from Q1-Q2 2017, MPT achieved a Speed Score of 11.45 providing faster average speeds

to their users than the other major providers in Myanmar with average download speeds of 12.41

Mbps and average upload speeds of 7.47 Mbps on LTE-capable devices.

Our Q1-Q2 2017 results are in for Myanmar and we have called MPT as the winner of the Speedtest Award for fastest mobile network speeds.
