The Speedtest Award Report looks exclusively at these top providers and their rankings,” said Ookla. “The Speedtest Awards consider top providers that maintain 3%+ of the test count in a market during a given period of time, which we believe is a fair indicator of general availability and usage of a service in a market when evaluating national level winners. In the same time period, there was a total of 27,221,777 tests in the published Speedtest Awards. They said they have 400,000 tests on Converge from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2018 (July 2018 to December 2018), but a service provider needs to have at least 3% of the total test count in a market during a time period, according to them.
