Superloop has been named Australia's Fastest Fixed Network by Ookla for a third consecutive testing period, making it the only Australian internet provider to win three successive Speedtest Awards.
Ookla granted the latest award for the first half of 2026 after analysing millions of consumer-initiated speed tests across Australia. Its assessment used a Speed Score combining download and upload performance with latency and responsiveness across fixed network providers.
From 1 January to 30 June 2026, Superloop recorded the highest Speed Score among the country's fixed network providers. The result extends its winning run across all of 2025 and into 2026.
According to Superloop, the award reflects sustained network performance rather than a single testing window. Ookla's methodology draws on Speedtest Intelligence data gathered from users testing their own connections.
Superloop operates across consumer, business and wholesale markets in Australia. It owns infrastructure including fibre, fixed wireless and subsea cable assets, and sells broadband under brands including Superloop and Exetel.
Founded in 2014 and listed on the ASX since 2015, the business has positioned network performance as a core part of its offering in a competitive broadband market. The latest Ookla award gives Superloop an independent benchmark as it competes with larger incumbents and other challengers.
Paul Tyler, Chief Executive Officer of Superloop, linked the result to investment in the company's network.
"We've invested meaningfully in our network, and three consecutive Ookla Speedtest Awards tells us that investment is delivering for homes, businesses and enterprise customers right across the country," said Paul Tyler, Chief Executive Officer of Superloop.
"Three awards in a row reflects the consistent performance of Superloop's network as measured by Ookla and reinforce our commitment to delivering fast, reliable broadband for Australian customers," Tyler said.
Testing method
Ookla said the finding was based on a large sample of consumer testing activity rather than a regulator-led measurement program. It noted that its speed testing method differs from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's Measuring Broadband Australia program.
That distinction matters in the Australian broadband market, where providers are often assessed on several measures, including peak-hour performance, customer satisfaction and value. Speedtest Awards draw on user-initiated tests, which can provide a broad view of network performance across many households and locations, but they are not directly comparable with all other industry studies.
Stephen Bye, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ookla, described the basis for the award in a statement accompanying the result.
"We're pleased to recognise Superloop with the Speedtest Award for Fastest Fixed Network in Australia for the third consecutive period," said Stephen Bye, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ookla.
"This result is based on millions of consumer-initiated tests across Australia and reflects sustained network performance that Superloop's customers experience every day," Bye said.
Broader recognition
Superloop also pointed to a run of recent industry accolades beyond the Ookla result. Over the past six months, it said it had been named NBN Provider of the Year at Finder's Broadband Awards, recognised by Canstar for its high-speed NBN plan, received multiple honours at the WeMoney Telco & Broadband Awards, gained TechRadar recognition for its gaming network and secured a Top Rated Provider rating on ProductReview.com.au based on more than 11,000 customer reviews.
These awards cover different aspects of the broadband market, from headline speed and gaming performance to customer sentiment and value. Together, they suggest smaller retail broadband providers continue to differentiate not only on price but also on network consistency and service reputation.
Superloop has also described itself as one of Australia's fastest-growing broadband retailers. Its infrastructure platform underpins services sold to households, businesses and wholesale customers, giving it greater control over parts of network delivery than retail-only rivals.
Competition in the Australian fixed broadband market remains intense, with providers seeking to win customers on speed, reliability, support and bundled offers. Independent performance rankings can carry weight because they give consumers a simple way to compare brands in a crowded market.
The latest result gives Superloop an uninterrupted sequence of Ookla Speedtest Awards spanning the first and second halves of 2025 and the first half of 2026.
