Author: Editorial Team

Orange has been awarded Western Africa’s Fastest Mobile Network and Mali’s fastest ISP, according to results from tests taken with Speedtest by Ookla for Q2-Q3 2021. Ookla recognizes Orange’s commitment to delivering fast speeds to their customers.

“On behalf of Ookla, it is my distinct honor to recognize Orange Mali for providing the fastest mobile speed in Western Africa. To achieve peak network performance among all of Western Africa’s many leading operators is a truly momentous accolade. The Orange Mali team has worked exhaustively to not only ensure that their customers receive exceptional performance, but also to set the bar that all other network operators around the continent should strive for.”

Doug Suttles, CEO, Ookla

“Western Africa’s Fastest Mobile Network” for top providers in speed was determined by evaluating each provider’s Speed Score in Q2-Q3 To determine the fastest providers for mobile networks, Ookla assesses the Speed Score from all test results taken using Modern Chipsets. To be designated as a top provider, the operator’s Speedtest results must account for at least 3% of the sample size in their geographic areas.

“Western Africa’s Fastest Mobile Network” acknowledgment, as well as the reports contained within the Speedtest Intelligence Portal, represent Ookla’s view of our data using the science and methodologies that go into benchmarking networks. With over 10 million consumer-initiated tests taken daily on Speedtest, Ookla provides invaluable insight into the performance, quality, and accessibility of networks worldwide. As the preferred data provider for telecommunications operators, regulatory bodies, trade bodies, analysts, journalists, universities, nonprofits, and government agencies, Ookla helps these organizations to fully understand the state of networks worldwide, by location and provider.
