Liberty VI announced today that its True Fiber internet network won the 2025 Speedtest Award™ as the Fastest Fixed Network in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Additionally, Liberty’s mobile network was awarded with the distinction for the Best Mobile Coverage in the USVI.

“Receiving this honor from Ookla once again affirms that all of our efforts over the last six years to build a solid fiber internet infrastructure that also enhances our mobile network have paid off. We continue to deliver on the promise we made: to offer these Virgin Islands world-class telecommunication services that will allow each and every Virgin Islander to play, work and learn like never before,” said Ravindra Maywahlall, general manager of Liberty VI. “I am also proud of the great work that our Liberty VI teams have done to elevate our customers’ experience and lead them to a true fixed and mobile convergence service.”

Based on Ookla? Speedtest Intelligence? data for the second half of 2025, Ookla’s analysis showed Liberty’s True Fiber fixed network consistently outperformed competitors on download, upload, and latency.

The recognition for Best Mobile Coverage in the USVI reflects the consistent groundwork Liberty’s teams have delivered to improve coverage depth and the reliability customers experience every day. The teams carried out targeted upgrades, capacity enhancements, and continuous optimization to strengthen service across St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John—especially in high-traffic areas.

“This momentum is also supported by Liberty’s continued investment in acquiring new spectrum and deploying it across the USVI—expanding capacity and strengthening network performance to meet growing demand,” explained Victor Vera, senior director of RAN Engineering for Liberty. And we’re not stopping here. Our 2026 roadmap continues to enhance coverage, performance, and resiliency to keep raising the bar for our customers.”

To determine the 2025 Speedtest Award™ for Best Mobile Coverage in the USVI, Ookla? examined 642,656 mobile coverage scans collected by Speedtest? and Consumer QoE™ users from all the major mobile internet service providers in the USVI from Q3 to Q4 2025 to determine which one had the best mobile coverage. The results are reported as the Coverage Score™.

The Speedtest Award for USVI’s Fastest Fixed Network is based on analysis by Ookla? of 68,999 user-initiated tests that were carried out by consumers in the USVI during the last six months of 2025. The tests were taken on various Speedtest? applications that were connected to a fixed network and include tests taken on mobile phones using a Wi-Fi network.

“It is an honor to recognize Liberty with the Speedtest Award for Fastest Fixed Network and Best Mobile Coverage in USVI during Q3-Q4 2025,” said Stephen Bye, President and CEO of Ookla, a division of Ziff Davis. “This recognition is a testament to their determination in putting their customers first and delivering an industry leading fixed and mobile network and an enhanced experience.”
