A European Commission study on broadband internet in Europe based on real-life tests at customers’ premises has again confirmed Melita as the fastest internet service provider in Malta.

According to this study, Melita customers benefit from an average download speed of over 26 Megabits per second. Melita customers have more than double the download speed than subscribers of other operators.

Similarly Melita’s fibre-powered internet beats other operators on reliability. In these real-life tests, Melita customers receive all the download speed they are subscribed to, while clients on ADSL get on average, 15 per cent less than the speed they are paying for, Melita said.

The study, based on hundreds of Maltese households, is carried out using a methodology of hardware devices and provides the most accurate and independent results of internet performance regardless of access to technology and home installation.

This is the second measurement of a study on broadband performance by the European Commission that covers all EU member states as well as Norway and Iceland, using the same approach.

The project is being run by broadband performance testing specialist SamKnows, which has already conducted similar projects in the UK and the US.
