Average Internet Speed in the Dominican Republic

Internet in the Dominican Republic: what the data shows

At a median 26.1 Mbps download, the Dominican Republic sits below the midpoint of the table: #69 of 119 ranked countries, 23% below the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, more than 5× the speed measured here.

The median upload is 19.4 Mbps, about 74% of the download rate: the balance typical of a market mixing fibre with cable or DSL plans. Median latency is 71 ms. That is on the high side: pages and video still load, but calls, gaming and screen sharing carry a visible delay.

The fastest measured provider, Claro Dominican Republic at 35 Mbps, sits close to the national median: providers cluster tightly here, so the plan tier you buy matters more than which network you pick.

Desktops test faster than phones here (32 vs 15 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 33% of tests. By operating system, Mac OS devices record the quickest median (37 Mbps) while Android sits at 12 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.

Tests from the Dominican Republic most often reached the Miami test server (68% 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.
