The Speedtest Awards from Ookla recognize the fastest and most efficient fixed and mobile network operators worldwide. To determine the leader, Ookla experts analyzed 2,695,974 tests conducted by subscribers of all mobile operators in Ukraine during the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2024.
According to Ookla's data, the Speed Score for Kyivstar's network was 35.65, the highest among mobile operators in the country. This score takes into account the data on download (Download) and upload (Upload) speeds within the electronic communications operator's network. Internal monitoring by Kyivstar shows that the average data transfer speed in the network increased by over 30% during 2024. This was made possible thanks to significant investments in infrastructure, active development, and network modernization.
Kyivstar also achieved the best result in coverage testing — 36.18, which is 4.84% higher than that of the nearest competitor. This figure is based on the analysis of 386,316,615 scans conducted in verified locations where operators provide their services. Kyivstar's high-speed 4G network is now available to 95.7% of Ukraine's population.
“We are proud that Kyivstar has received the Speedtest award in the categories of ‘Best Mobile Coverage’, ‘Fastest Mobile Network’, and ‘Best Mobile Network’ in Ukraine,” said Steven Bye, President and CEO of Ookla, a subsidiary of Ziff Davis. “This award is a testament to industry leadership, as confirmed by Ookla's methodology. Congratulations, Kyivstar!”.
