In a landmark achievement for Chile’s digital infrastructure and the Latin American telecom industry, Mundo Telecomunicaciones has been officially recognized by Ookla — the global leader in internet performance testing and the company behind Speedtest — as the fastest fixed network in the world during the Speedtest Awards for Q3–Q4 2025.
This historic milestone marks a dramatic leap from regional leadership to global dominance, surpassing major operators across Europe, Asia, and North America — regions traditionally seen as untouchable in broadband performance.
From Latin America to the Top of the World
Only a year ago, Mundo was leading Latin America’s fixed internet speed rankings. Today, it has outperformed some of the most technologically advanced telecom markets on the planet.
This is more than a corporate success. It is a powerful signal that:

-
Private-sector innovation can close the global connectivity gap
-
World-class digital infrastructure is no longer exclusive to developed economies

- A proof point that emerging markets can set worldwide standards
For the telecom industry, it sends a disruptive message: Innovation, efficiency, and execution can outperform scale.
