Ookla has released its Speedtest Award winners for the third and fourth quarters of 2025, and Bell Pure Fibre topped the rankings for fixed internet in Canada. The report, based on tests run between July and December 2025, measures download and upload speeds and other quality metrics across consumer-initiated Speedtest results.
Bell posted the highest speed score at 77.45, narrowly beating Telus PureFibre, which scored 76.14. Rogers held third place with a speed score of 71.47. Bell also led on median download and upload speeds and won the overall Speedtest connectivity score.
How the rankings were calculated
Ookla’s awards are drawn from millions of consumer-initiated tests on Speedtest, combined with quality of experience metrics that reflect common online activities. The company selects winners based on a combination of median download and upload speeds and other connectivity measures during the six-month reporting window.
Our reports are informed by millions of daily consumer-initiated tests taken on Speedtest, along with quality of experience (QoE) metrics that offer insight into the daily connected activities that matter most to end-users.

Top fixed internet providers in Canada, July–December 2025
- Bell Pure Fibre — Speed score: 77.45, Median download: 372.04 Mbps, Median upload: 321.44 Mbps
- Telus PureFibre — Speed score: 76.14, Median download: 318.27 Mbps, Median upload: 273.36 Mbps
- Rogers — Speed score: 71.47, Median download: 325.42 Mbps, Median upload: 93.04 Mbps
What those numbers mean for users
Median download speed indicates how quickly content arrives on your device, so the higher figures reported for Bell and Telus translate to smoother streaming, faster downloads and lower buffering when several devices share a connection. Median upload speed matters for video calls, cloud backups and sending large files. Bell’s upload median of 321.44 Mbps is substantially higher than Rogers’ 93.04 Mbps, which may affect users who frequently upload video or work with large documents.
Speed scores aggregate performance across tests and scenarios, but they do not guarantee a particular result at a specific address. Local infrastructure, plan tier, peak-hour congestion and home wiring all affect real-world speed.
How to use the report when choosing a provider
- Check availability: fibre coverage varies by neighbourhood, so confirm which networks serve your address.
- Match speeds to use: choose plans with higher upload speeds if you do frequent video conferencing, livestreaming or large file transfers.
- Compare tiers and prices: advertised speeds may differ from median speeds in reports, so compare plan details and data caps.
- Run your own test: use Speedtest at different times of day to see typical performance at your home before switching.
- Read the fine print: installation fees, equipment rental and contract terms can change the total cost of a switch.
More on the report and what to watch next
Ookla’s full report provides regional breakdowns and additional metrics such as video streaming and web browsing scores. Providers can improve or fall behind as they upgrade infrastructure and expand fibre networks, so annual and semiannual reports are useful snapshots rather than permanent rankings.
If improving home internet is your goal, start with the report to narrow options, then verify availability and run local tests. For many Canadian households, fibre networks like Bell Pure Fibre and Telus PureFibre continue to lead on raw speed and upload capacity.
