Silknet has been presented with the Speedtest Award for "Fastest Internet in Georgia"
According to data from Ookla, the world-renowned mobile and fixed internet speed testing and data analysis company, Silknet is the fastest internet provider in Georgia in 2025 for fixed internet. The company previously received the Ookla Speedtest award in 2020.
The American company Ookla, through its comprehensive analytical platform, monitors the quality of fixed and mobile internet networks across various countries worldwide, conducting speed testing via specialized applications. Ookla’s services are utilized by providers, mobile operators, businesses, government organizations, and universities globally.
In Georgia, Ookla began network testing last year and conducted observations on quality, speed, and other metrics over a 6-month period. The Speedtest Awards are based on results from this "Award Period," during which data is generated for further processing and analysis.
“Adding the 2025 Ookla Speedtest Award to our shelf is a proud moment that continues the story Silknet has been writing for years. We’ve won these trophies before, and each time, it serves as a reminder that staying at the top requires constant reinvention. We are seeing the fruits of our massive 5G expansion on the mobile side, while our fixed network remains the fastest and most reliable in Georgia. By excelling in both, we’ve truly become the strongest player on the market. It’s a joy to see our engineers' hard work and strategic investments turn into a seamless experience for our customers, at home or on the move.” – Nino Kankia, Chief Technical Officer of Silknet.
