Ooredoo Maldives has been recognised as the Best Fixed Network in the Maldives for the second half of 2025, becoming the first telecommunications provider in the country to receive the Ookla Speedtest Award for fixed network performance.
The award, issued by global network intelligence firm Ookla, is based on consumer-initiated Speedtest data collected during the period. The evaluation relies on a Speed Score calculated from download and upload speeds, as well as network responsiveness, reflecting how customers experience broadband services in real-world conditions.
For Ooredoo Maldives, the recognition signals a competitive advantage in the fixed broadband segment, particularly as demand for reliable high-speed connectivity continues to grow across households and businesses. Fibre broadband infrastructure, home connectivity solutions, and network responsiveness have become central to how users assess service quality, especially in an archipelago where geographic dispersion can pose operational challenges.
In a statement, Shadi Qawasmi, Managing Director and CEO of Ooredoo Maldives, described the award as a milestone and said the company’s network was built to address the country’s unique geography while supporting communities and businesses through digital services.
As the Maldives advances its digitalisation agenda, fixed broadband performance carries broader economic implications. High-speed connectivity supports remote work, online education, tourism operations, fintech platforms, and enterprise services. Recognition from an independent global benchmarking entity such as Ookla may also influence consumer perception and competitive positioning within the domestic telecommunications market.
The award is based on Ookla Speedtest Intelligence data for the second half of 2025.
