PHILIPSBURG–TelEm has been recognised with three prestigious Speedtest Awards from Ookla, the global leader in Internet testing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe awards \u2013 Fastest Internet, Best Internet, and Best Internet Gaming Experience \u2013 highlight TelEm\u2019s commitment to delivering high-speed, reliable connectivity to residents of St. Maarten,\u201d the company stated in a press release on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u2006 \u2006 Ookla, a division of Ziff Davis (NASDAQ: ZD), provides trusted connectivity insights through platforms including Speedtest, Downdetector, and RootMetrics. Its data help providers, governments, and businesses optimise networks and improve digital experiences worldwide.<\/p>\n
\u2006 \u2006 Ookla President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Stephen Bye said, \u201cIt is an honour to recognise TelEm with the Speedtest Awards for Fastest Fixed Network, Best Fixed Network, and Best Fixed Gaming Experience during Q1-Q2 2025. These recognitions reflect their dedication to putting customers first and delivering industry-leading performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2006 \u2006 Ookla\u2019s Speedtest Awards are based on consumer-initiated tests using the Speedtest\u00ae platform. Winning across all three categories demonstrates that TelEm customers enjoy faster speeds, improved Internet packages, and smoother online gaming experiences than any other provider on the island.<\/p>\n
\u2006 \u2006 TelEm management said: \u201cThis triple recognition proves that we are not just improving \u2013 we are leading. The dedication of our local team made this possible and shows that St. Maarten can achieve world-class results.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2006 \u2006 TelEm\u2019s recent network upgrades have significantly enhanced Internet performance across St. Maarten, the company noted. In April 2025, the company rolled out ultra-fast fibre plans offering speeds of up to 250Mbps download and 100Mbps upload, starting at just US $55 per month, all without increasing prices.<\/p>\n
\u2006 \u2006 Improvements made since late 2024 have also reduced latency, enabling sharper streaming, smoother video calls, and an overall superior online experience. These combined enhancements earned TelEm the Best Internet Gaming Experience award, confirmed through independent testing by Ookla.<\/p>\n
\u2006 \u2006 Over the past 18 months, TelEm has focused on upgrading networks, investing in its team, and enhancing customer experiences, while keeping the community at the centre of its mission.<\/p>\n
\u2006 \u2006 TelEm\u2019s transformation continues with a new mobile core deployed in June 2025, paving the way for 5G services, expansion of high-speed broadband to under-served areas, and the upcoming Super WiFi rollout for enhanced in-home connectivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILIPSBURG–TelEm has been recognised with three prestigious Speedtest Awards from Ookla, the global leader in Internet testing. \u201cThe…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179966,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[174,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-179965","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-internet","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
