“The Speedtest Award for Fastest 5G Network by Ookla is based on meticulous analysis of consumer-initiated Speedtest results from devices across Bermuda. Paradise Mobile achieved a median download speed of 219.68 Mbps overall, and an astounding 281.28 Mbps specifically on its 5G network, doubling its 5G speeds in just six months.”
Zlatko Zahirović, Chief Technology Officer for Paradise Mobile, shared his excitement about the recognition, “Winning Ookla’s award for Fastest 5G Network in Bermuda shows how far we’ve come in such a short time. Doubling our speeds within six months while delivering exceptional service is no small feat. We’re not only improving connectivity on the Island but also bringing Bermuda into the global conversation on 5G excellence – if Bermuda’s ranking in the Speedtest Global Index were based solely on Paradise Mobile’s performance, we would now rank 4th globally for 5G speeds, which is incredible.”
