Movistar Venezuela network performance and pricing

Overview

Movistar Venezuela was recognized by Ookla as the country’s best mobile network for the first half of 2026. The company achieved a Speedtest Connectivity Score of 58.88, a result CEO Antonio Valente Izzi attributed to an investment plan to modernize infrastructure that included updating over 1,500 stations since late 2024.

Following this recognition, Movistar updated the pricing for its mobile plans and data packages for September 2026. These adjustments are calculated using the official exchange rate from the Central Bank of Venezuela. The new rates apply to various offerings, including the Full Plus pay-per-use plan and larger data packages ranging from 2GB to 25GB. These published prices exclude Value Added Tax (IVA).
