for this achievement, which is the result of their unwavering focus on delivering a 

superior network experience to their customers." 

The Speedtest Awards for top providers in speed are determined using a Speed 

Score™ that incorporates a measure of each provider’s download and upload speed 

to rank network speed performance. Tests used to calculate the Speed Score 

exclusively come from “modern devices,” which are devices capable of connecting to 

the market’s fastest generally available technology. Epic’s Speed Score during the
