Telem wins triple recognition for Ookla Speedtest Awards

GREAT BAY--Telem on Tuesday announced that it has been awarded three (3) prestigious Speedtest Awards™ by Ookla®, the global leader in internet testing and analysis. The awards, Fastest Internet, Best Internet, and Best Internet Gaming Experience, recognize Telem’s leadership in delivering speed and performance to the people of Sint Maarten.

“It is an honor to recognize Telem with the Speedtest Awards for Fastest Fixed Network, Best Fixed Network and Best Fixed Gaming Experience in Sint Maarten during Q1–Q2 2025,” said Stephen Bye, President and CEO of Ookla, a division of Ziff Davis. “These recognitions are a testament to their determination in putting their customers first and delivering an industry-leading fixed network and an enhanced experience.”

Ookla’s Speedtest Awards are based on consumer-initiated tests using the globally recognized Speedtest® platform. Winning across all three categories demonstrates that Telem customers are enjoying higher speeds, better internet packages, and smoother online gaming experiences than any other provider on the island.

“This triple recognition is proof that Telem is not only improving, we are leading,” said Telem management. “What makes this achievement even more meaningful is that it was made possible by the dedication of our local team. It shows that when we work together with focus and determination, Sint Maarten can achieve world-class results.”

𝘍𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳 & 𝘐𝘚𝘗 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘜𝘱𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴: In April 2025, Telem rolled out ultra-fast fiber packages delivering up to 250 Mbps download and a remarkably high 100 Mbps upload, ideal for creators, businesses, and gamers — all without raising prices. Plans still start at just $55 per month.

𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘐𝘵 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴: Network enhancements completed since late 2024 have delivered consistently low latency, enabling smoother video calls, sharper streaming, and best-in-class gaming responsiveness across Sint Maarten.

𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘌𝘥𝘨𝘦: These combined upgrades positioned Telem to win the award for Best Internet Gaming Experience, validated by Ookla’s independent testing.

Looking ahead, Telem’s transformation continues. In June 2025, Telem deployed a new state-of-the-art mobile core, laying the foundation for 5G services in the near future.

At the same time, Telem is working tirelessly to expand high-speed broadband access to areas of the island not yet covered by fiber. These projects ensure that progress reaches every corner of Sint Maarten, powered by the same commitment and hard work that earned Telem these awards.

Additionally, Telem will soon launch Super WiFi as part of new customer connections, ensuring households receive enhanced in-home wireless performance to fully experience upgraded fiber speeds.
