Ookla has released its Speedtest results for the July to December 2025 data collection period, with Bell securing the majority of the top mobile spots (similar to the last report) and Rogers delivering the best video experience. Ookla collected the data itself, using various methods and predetermined scoring systems (such as the Speed Score and Game Score) to rank the top carriers.
In terms of the best 5G network, Bell ranked first with a Speed Score (measured using download and upload speeds and latency) of 60.66. Interestingly, Ookla notes that there was no overall winner for the best mobile network across all carriers in Canada, citing no significant statistical difference among the three networks.

In terms of the fastest mobile network, Bell led in both 5G and combined technologies, achieving a download speed of 107.51Mbps. Telus, which finished second, recorded 101.95Mbps. Bell also ended the testing period with a 9.76Mbps upload speed and 42ms latency.
Interestingly, Ookla named Telus the most consistent overall mobile network. According to Speedtest Intelligence data, 85.6 per cent of samples collected met or exceeded the base threshold of 5Mbps for download speed and 1Mbps for upload speed. Bell finished in second with 84.5 per cent, and Rogers finished in third with 83.3 per cent.
Once again, there was no clear winner for best 5G network consistency, as Ookla noted no statistically significant difference among Bell, Rogers, and Telus.

Rogers won two categories in this report: best 5G availability and best video experience. According to Ookla, 86.7 per cent of Rogers customers were accessing 5G services most of the time, and the company earned a video streaming score (a scoring system based on three metrics: acceptable video start time, uninterrupted playback, and full HD resolution) of 86.03 — beating Telus, which had a score of 85.32. Bell wasn’t far behind, earning a score of 84.71.
Going back to Bell, the telecom provider also took the top spot for the best gaming experience, with a Speedtest Intelligence GameScore of 86.87, and a 5G Game Score of 89.13. To add some context, Ookla’s game score ranks based on four metrics: game latency, game jitter, download speed, and upload speed.

Toronto ranked second, with 134.81Mbps. Several other cities within the Greater Toronto Area ranked on the list, with Mississauga, Markham, and Brampton scoring 115.47, 98.5, and 90.13Mbps, respectively.
