Average Internet Speed in Chile

Internet in Chile: what the data shows

At a median 43.6 Mbps download, Chile sits in the upper half of the table: #48 of 119 ranked countries, 29% 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 29.6 Mbps, about 68% of the download rate: the balance typical of a market mixing fibre with cable or DSL plans. Median latency is 33 ms. That is low enough for responsive video calls and online gaming on a typical connection.

VTR tops the measured providers at 126 Mbps, about 2.9× the national median, so switching networks can matter as much as switching plans.

Desktop and mobile tests land close together (45 and 43 Mbps), so the experience translates across devices; mobile accounts for 62% of tests. By operating system, iOS devices record the quickest median (175 Mbps) while Linux sits at 18 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.

Tests from Chile most often reached the Santiago test server (97% 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.
