Average Internet Speed in Algeria

Internet in Algeria: what the data shows

At a median 19.2 Mbps download, Algeria sits below the midpoint of the table: #83 of 119 ranked countries, 43% below the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, more than 7× the speed measured here.

The median upload is 10.2 Mbps, about 53% of the download rate: the balance typical of a market mixing fibre with cable or DSL plans. Median latency is 80 ms. That is on the high side: pages and video still load, but calls, gaming and screen sharing carry a visible delay.

Among providers with enough measured tests, Algérie Télécom leads at 27 Mbps.

Desktops test faster than phones here (43 vs 16 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 71% of tests. By operating system, Windows devices record the quickest median (21 Mbps) while Android sits at 16 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.

Tests from Algeria most often reached the Marseille test server (58% of the top-server mix), so the figures reflect the routes everyday traffic actually takes. Every number on this page is a median of single-stream browser tests from the H1 2026 window: Real-World Speed, measured on the open internet rather than inside an ISP's own network. It reads lower than peak-rate tests by design, and every country is measured with the same ruler.
