5 of 8 Ookla Awards 2026

Cable Bahamas Group is celebrating another defining milestone in its journey to transform connectivity across The Bahamas, earning eight prestigious Ookla Speedtest Awards for outstanding mobile and fixed network performance.

The recognition, which includes Best Mobile Network in The Bahamas and Fastest Fixed Network in the Caribbean, marks a significant achievement for the Group's ALIV and ALIVFibr brands, reflecting years of strategic investment, innovation and commitment to delivering stronger, faster and more reliable connectivity.

The achievements were formally celebrated during a press conference and awards breakfast at Goldwynn Resort & Residences, bringing together company executives, government representatives, industry stakeholders and members of the media.

The occasion featured remarks from the Hon. Wayde Watson, Minister of State for Innovation and National Development, alongside John Gomez, Chief ALIV Officer and Marc Penesso, Director of Sales at Ookla.

Eight Awards, Two Brands, One Commitment to Excellence

Building on five Ookla awards received in 2025, Cable Bahamas Group's latest recognition highlights continued progress across both its mobile and fixed networks.

ALIV received three awards:

  • Fastest Mobile Network in The Bahamas
  • Best Mobile Network in The Bahamas
  • Best Mobile Gaming Experience in The Bahamas

ALIVFibr received five awards:

  • Fastest Fixed Network in The Bahamas
  • Best Fixed Network in The Bahamas
  • Best Fixed Video Experience in The Bahamas
  • Best Fixed Gaming in The Bahamas
  • Fastest Fixed Network in The Caribbean

Based on consumer-initiated testing, Ookla's Speedtest Awards provide independent recognition of network performance, reflecting the connectivity experiences of customers.

Building on Years of Strategic Investment

These achievements represent the results of a sustained commitment to modernizing telecommunications infrastructure across the archipelago.

Over the past fiscal year, Cable Bahamas Group completed fibre coverage across New Providence and expanded ALIVFibr into Abaco, establishing its first Family Island fibre market.

These investments have contributed to continued customer adoption, with ALIVFibr surpassing 41,000 subscribers by the end of September 2026.

As the Group approaches the completion of its legacy REV network decommissioning across New Providence, its focus is increasingly shifting toward maximizing the value of its modern infrastructure and enhancing the overall customer experience.

Beyond Network Performance: Putting Customers First

While the eight awards recognize the quality of Cable Bahamas Group's networks, the company's vision extends beyond speed and infrastructure.

The next phase of its transformation places greater emphasis on making services simpler, more accessible and more responsive to customers' evolving needs.

Recent initiatives include the introduction of ALIVFibr's self-rescheduling platform, allowing customers to conveniently manage installation appointments, and expanded customer education opportunities designed to help subscribers better understand and maximize their services.

The Group has also introduced a dedicated television information channel, Channel 204, to provide customers with helpful guidance and important service updates.

Looking ahead, Cable Bahamas Group remains committed to accelerating digital adoption, refining its service offerings and introducing new initiatives that will make everyday customer interactions more seamless and intuitive.

Celebrating the People Behind the Progress

At the heart of these achievements are the dedicated employees whose expertise, innovation and commitment continue to drive Cable Bahamas Group forward.

From engineering and technical teams to customer-facing colleagues and supporting departments across the business, these awards represent a collective achievement.

They also reflect the trust of thousands of customers who continue to choose ALIV and ALIVFibr to stay connected to the people, businesses and opportunities that matter most.

Eight awards are a milestone worth celebrating, but the journey toward an even better customer experience continues.
