Frequently asked questions

What is the average internet speed in the world?

The global median download speed is 33.9 Mbps, with a median upload of 19.9 Mbps and latency of 71 ms, based on millions of browser-based tests on SpeedOf.Me across 119 countries.

Which country has the fastest internet?

The United States has the fastest median download speed in this report at 144 Mbps, followed by South Korea and Canada.

How is the average internet speed measured?

We use the median (p50) of real, single-stream browser speed tests on SpeedOf.Me. All sources are included, each capped to 50% of a country so no single integration skews it; a country is included only once it has at least 500 tests.

Why are SpeedOf.Me's speeds lower than Ookla's Speedtest?

Different rulers, by design. Ookla's Speedtest typically connects to a server inside your internet provider's own network and opens multiple parallel streams, which reports a best-case, on-net peak. SpeedOf.Me measures Real-World Speed: a single stream in the browser against neutral CDN edge servers on the open internet, the same infrastructure that serves everyday websites and video. Our numbers sit lower as a result; because every country is measured with the same ruler, the country-to-country comparison stays valid.

Why do countries like Singapore rank lower here than on Ookla's index?

Because the two rankings reward different things. Ookla's fixed-broadband index measures multi-stream tests to nearby servers, many hosted inside each country's ISPs, so places with dense multi-gig fiber top it. Our ranking measures Real-World Speed: a single browser stream to neutral servers on the open internet, on every device people test with. On that ruler Singapore's median is 63 Mbps, #20 of 119. Both are true answers to different questions.
