Movistar has invested more than $500 billion in the last two years for the development of its network infrastructure, deploying 4.5G in 129 municipalities of Colombia which it says enables customers to reach browsing speeds of up to 250Mbps.
With average upload speeds on 4G of 5.51Mbps, Movistar inch ahead of Claro to take the top spot in our latest upload speed chart for Colombia.

America Movil, parent company of Claro, have recently announced plans to extend the Claro footprint into the US, primarily focus on enterprise solutions of businesses - but we could see this expand in the future to provide telecommunication services for consumers also.
Similar to our last quarter findings, Tigo are still suffering from high jitter on 4G and 3G.
