These scores were determined after taking download and upload speeds into account to rank network speed performance.

Optus came in second with 75.27Mbps median download speed and third with 9.08Mbps upload.

“Network is more important than ever and it’s always nice to be recognized with awards like this,” says Iskra Nikolova, Telstra’s Network and Infrastructure Executive.
“We work hard to be Australia’s biggest, fastest and most reliable network with our 5G network now reaching 80 per cent of Australia’s population and as part of our T25 program, we plan to roll out to 95 per cent of the population by 2025.”
