The Speed Score™ works by comparing user-initiated speed tests in iOS and Android mobile apps for Major Carriers only during the award period. The fastest carrier is then determined by incorporating the measure of download and upload speeds to rank the network speed performance: 90% for download, and 10% for upload. More emphasis is placed on the download and median speeds as those represent what most network providers' customers will experience on a regular basis.
