Average Internet Speed in Belize

Internet in Belize: what the data shows

At a median 43.0 Mbps download, Belize sits in the upper half of the table: #49 of 119 ranked countries, 27% above the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, about 3.3× faster.

The median upload is 24.2 Mbps, about 56% of the download rate: the balance typical of a market mixing fibre with cable or DSL plans. Median latency is 56 ms. That works for streaming and browsing, though competitive gaming and video calls will feel it.

Central TV & Internet tops the measured providers at 97 Mbps, about 2.2× the national median, so switching networks can matter as much as switching plans.

Desktops test faster than phones here (46 vs 19 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 12% of tests.

Tests from Belize most often reached the Miami test server (85% 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.
