Alex Neuman y Pedro Direne discutieron el Connectivity Report de Panamá, centrándose en la conectividad y las métricas de Ookla. Pedro explicó que la aplicación Speedtest mide la velocidad de internet y la experiencia del usuario, y que se están incorporando nuevas métricas como la latencia para mejorar la evaluación de servicios de streaming y videojuegos. Ambos abordaron el sesgo de supervivencia en las pruebas de velocidad, asegurando que las mediciones oficiales son imparciales al utilizar un algoritmo que selecciona servidores cercanos.También analizaron el estado del mercado de telecomunicaciones en Panamá, destacando altas velocidades en redes fijas y la necesidad de mejorar las velocidades móviles, especialmente con la llegada del 5G y nuevos proveedores como Starlink. Se acordó realizar una actualización sobre estos temas en la segunda mitad del año, cuando se disponga de nuevos datos.

An attempt to feature five guests resulted in possibly the most chaotic version of the podcast ever. The first two guests were analyst Paolo Pescatore and Danielle Rios, CEO of Totogi, who brought along a cocktail crew to make sure things go smoothly. They eventually made way for Sylwia Kechiche of Opensignal and Mark Giles from Ookla and we even managed to fit in pod favourite Mary Clark of Numeracle at the end. They tried, and failed, to avoid talking about geopolitics and the AI dystopia, but plenty of telecoms was covered too.

Si estás viajando hacia el #MWC25 seguramente vayas a oír de dos cosas: 1️⃣ #Consolidación #PanEuropea. Esta vez si, de manera casi ineludible 2️⃣ Calidad hashtag#BAM. Porque ahora la industria de herramientas para cambiar el modelo de prestación de servicio irremediablemente y porque ahora la evidencia de que importa se amontona encima de la mesa Sobre todo de lo segundo, pero también un poco de lo primero hablamos en el EP 198 de nuestro #Podcasts #Telco #SuperLigero. Y lo hacemos comparando los estudios hashtag#mustRead recientemente publicados por Opensignal, MedUX y Ookla. El resumen?: no existe un mercado único de servicios de telecomunicaciones. Los países nórdicos continúan liderando en calidad (#kudos Dinamarca), lo países #EU4 ocupan una posición intermedia en la que hashtag#ESP no destaca. Es tiempo para cambiar!

Three, Ireland's largest mobile telecommunications provider, has been awarded a number of licenses by Ookla, a global leader in connectivity intelligence. The results are based on an analysis of tests taken using Speedtest in the second half of 2024. Securing their position as a 5G market leader, Three has been awarded Fastest 5G Network in Ireland for the fourth year in a row, Most Consistent 5G Network in Ireland, as well as winning the Fastest Mobile Network in Ireland for the fifth year in a row. Ookla Speedtest data supports that the elements driving Three's success in 5G technology is due to strong network investment, the deployment of new technologies, as well as the clever use of spectrum which provides both voice and data connectivity. To date, Three Ireland has invested over €2 billion in the development of its network, achieving 99% 4G population coverage and over 92% 5G population coverage - providing customers with the highest level of coverage available in the market and securing their position as industry leader. David Hennessy, CTO Three Ireland and Three UK, said: "Three Ireland is incredibly pleased to once again be recognised by Ookla as having the fastest 5G network in Ireland, as well as the most consistent 5G network. Three has invested significant resources into the development of Ireland's connectivity, achieving over 92% 5G coverage and 99% 4G coverage. As Ireland's largest mobile telecommunications provider, we are acutely aware of the demands and requirements for reliable connectivity, whether for remote working, studying, shopping or streaming. Three Ireland will continue to invest and advance its 5G network, providing customers with the greatest coverage, speeds and reliability available in the market." 5G connectivity gives speeds ten times faster than 4G, with lower latency and greater reliability - enriching all connectivity experiences from amplified gaming to increased streaming and download speeds. The adoption of and access to 5G technology brings considerable added value to Three customers in Ireland, enhancing their lives and how they choose to connect. Three Ireland provides 5G connectivity to all customers across all plans, reaffirming the company's commitment to providing exceptional value and ensuring customers have access to the leading technology available today. Three was also the first Irish operator to launch the next evolution of 5G, 5G Standalone, which has the potential to accelerate innovation across industries and unlock exciting possibilities for businesses and consumers. 5G Standalone is the next advancement of 5G technology - meaning the 5G network operates with a 5G dedicated core network, supporting enhanced speeds, providing minimal latency and enabling higher device density and capacity. In contrast, currently all 5G capabilities rely on a 4G radio coverage footprint and 4G core network, so while speeds are quicker and latency has improved, there is still a reliance on 4G.

Hace unos días se ha publicado el primer informe sobre la #Calidad de la #experiencia en banda ancha fija en #ESP de Opensignal. Y MASORANGE ha obtenido sendas primeras posiciones en #ConsistentQuality y #ReliabilityExperience. Felicidades a los equipos que lo han hecho posible. Pero una lectura más detallada del informe, que es la que tenemos que hacer nosotros, arroja una visión más matizada. La primera pregunta que nos hacemos es cómo de compatible es esto con un ranking similar creado por Ookla en que Digi Spain Telecom resultaba ganador. La respuesta es que es bastante compatible y que esta competencia en posiciones es un mensaje de competencia en #BAF en #ESP. Pero más allá de rankings el concepto de #ReliabilityExperience nos recuerda que, desde ese punto de vista #ESP no es, sorprendentemente líder, y que la comparación de los operadores #UK por ejemplo con los de #ESP señala posibles oportunidades de mejora. El mismo índice también nos recuerda la existencia de una brecha digital rural (que en un informe anterior se estima en el 15%) que parecería razonable trabajar para cerrar.

After a five week absence, the pod returns from its second summer break. They were delighted to welcome special guest Mark Giles, Lead Analyst at Ookla. Iain and Scott had just come from an event hosted by BT/EE so they combine the review and analysis of that news with a discussion of what Mark does at Ookla. That left time to reflect on a piece of ‘fan mail' Iain received and the story that seems likely to have provoked it.

Ookla's Karim Yaici breaks down which regions and service providers are leading the charge in 5G standalone and what this means for enterprises and consumers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Telefónica ha construido una posición muy sólida en el mercado #Telco #ESP. Tanto que hemos dado en llamarla #CuadroDePicas. Además ese cuadro está apoyado en una solidísima columna de infraestructuras. De manera muy particular su red de acceso #FTTH con 30M de HP. Además la nueva #EraDeLasSuperNetCo en la que nos adentramos ha cristalizado esa zona del mercado #FTTH transformando esa columna en algo más robusto todavía. Pero la realidad es demasiado complicada para poder medirse en 4 valores y hasta las formaciones más sólidas tienen arrugas, grietas o discontinuidades. Los datos de Ookla sugieren una brecha entre las velocidades comerciales y las medidas que, al menos, despierta nuestra curiosidad. Y la vuestra?

Almost any business these days needs its own network to function – whether it's for internal comms, interaction with the internet, or for controlling complex environments such as smart factory floors, business networks keep the wheels spinning at an enterprise level.But promises and delivery haven't always lined up in the networking space, with the likes of 5G and gigabit broadband coming in later than planned and developments such as widespread, real-time edge computing emerging as more important than they might have been expected to be.In what directions are business networks headed, and which growing trends should we expect to define enterprise connectivity in the coming years?In this episode, Jane and Rory speak to Kerry Baker, lead industry analyst North America at Ookla, to explore the current network picture for enterprises.Read more:What are private 5G networks and can they transform the workplace?Why businesses are turning to private 5GOfcom approves 5G mmWave, but what are its benefits?What is 6G and how far are we from rollout?UK government to run Starlink trials in Snowdonia, Lake DistrictSpaceX given FCC nod to provide Starlink Wi-Fi to moving vehiclesNokia and Google score breakthrough in Android 13 network slicing

#Spain is a European and World leader in #FTTH Networks. But, how these networks are performing in terns of reliability? Are they matching our expectatives as a #DigitalSociety? A new report from Opensignal defines #FBB Spanish networks as #Moderate, not #Higher. In fact, Spanish networks fall behind #SWE, #NOR or #JP but also #UK. In this #espisode of #Telco #SuperLigero we try to understand this new ranking and to match it with another data sources as Ookla; MedUX; umlaut company; SETELECO. Secretaría de Estado de Telecomunicaciones e Infraestructuras Digitales or CNMC (Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia). The Opensignal analysis includes also a very smart and elegant approach to measure the geographical #DigitalDivide. An concludes that there is a Digital Divide in every single country with Spain number 5 in a shorter gap ranking.

In 1992, while recording Poor Man's Copyright (what most people know as "The Rand and Adam Tape") we improvised a song called "Baby's Head," mostly because we had 15 songs, and wanted to put out a tape with an even number of songs on each side. This is not a song we were particularly proud of, but a certain segment of our fanbase really took a shine to it. While many songs from this tape have been recorded "for real" in the subsequent years, this is one that we always swore we'd never rerecord -- mostly because of our belief that whatever charm the song had was due to its improvisational nature. This has caused the song to take on an unearned infamy, and we've spent the last 30 years amusingly flummoxed when people ask us to play this one live. Over the last few months, we've been experimenting with creating live backing tracks -- using AI to strip the vocals from the songs -- and former Ookla member (and owner of Watchmen Studios) Doug White recently surprised us with this track. He went the other way, stripping our acoustic guitar from "Baby's Head" and adding new drums, bass, and electric guitars under our original vocals, maintaining the "integrity" of the original improvisation, while providing something much more listenable. So what you're listening to are vocals recorded in 1992 and instruments recorded in 2024. Enjoy!

It is the year 1994, from out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the earth and the moon but we jump ahead 2000 years to talk about Thundarr the Barbarian and his quest to fight evil with his ccompaanions Princess Ariel and Ookla the Mok.

Another custom villain song from Ookla.

SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service has attracted a loyal user base despite delivering lower download speeds than traditional fixed broadband in both urban and rural areas across the U.S. The recent FCC approval for increasing the transmit duty cycles of its second-generation user dishes promises to improve internet speeds for users in North America. This development, along with the enthusiastic user base, as evidenced by the positive NPS scores from Ookla's survey, indicates a promising future for Starlink as it competes with other satellite internet providers, such as Amazon's upcoming Kuiper project.

Erika shares some brand new comics made exclusively for Volume one, as well as shares some behind-the-scenes information on OJST.
