Average Internet Speed in Austria

Internet in Austria: what the data shows

At a median 66.0 Mbps download, Austria sits comfortably in the top quarter of the table: #19 of 119 ranked countries, 95% above the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, about 2.2× faster.

Uploads trail well behind at 22.6 Mbps, roughly 34% of the download rate: download-tilted technologies such as cable, DSL and mobile broadband still carry most connections. Median latency is 30 ms. That is low enough for responsive video calls and online gaming on a typical connection.

LIWEST tops the measured providers at 118 Mbps, about 1.8× the national median, so switching networks can matter as much as switching plans.

Desktops test faster than phones here (70 vs 58 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 32% of tests. By operating system, iOS devices record the quickest median (90 Mbps) while Android sits at 46 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.

Tests from Austria most often reached the Vienna test server (74% 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.
