The MyBroadband Network Quality Report is based on results from MyBroadband\u2019s Android Speed Test App which were recorded between 1 October 2019 and 31 December 2019.<\/p>\n

The download speed (60%), upload speed (20%), and latency (20%) are used to calculate a Network Quality Score. The network score is a value which shows the relative performance of networks, with a maximum score of 10. To ensure accurate results, unnatural results are filtered out, and cell down-sampling is used.<\/p>\n
