Claro is recognized by the Speedtest® Awards as the fastest Mobile Network in the Caribbean

Santo Domingo.- Claro Dominicana was awarded in the Speedtest® Awards by Ookla with nine awards corresponding to the third and fourth quarter of 2025, as a result of a rigorous analysis based on millions of daily queries made by users through the leading global platform in speed measurement. The company achieved key recognitions, including the Fastest Mobile Network in the Caribbean; in addition, it remains for the second consecutive year as the Best Fixed Network and Best Mobile Network in the country simultaneously, being the first in Latin America to achieve this milestone. It also received the awards for Best Mobile Coverage, Fastest Mobile Network in the country (for the fifth consecutive year) and Mobile Gaming Experience, as well as Fastest Fixed Network, Best Valued Fixed Network and Best Fixed Gaming Experience.
