Internet in Egypt: what the data shows
At a median 11.5 Mbps download, Egypt sits near the back of the field: #101 of 119 ranked countries, well under half the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, more than 12× the speed measured here.
Uploads trail well behind at 4.0 Mbps, roughly 35% of the download rate: download-tilted technologies such as cable, DSL and mobile broadband still carry most connections. Median latency is 98 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, WE at 14 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 (15 vs 8 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 50% of tests. By operating system, iOS devices record the quickest median (18 Mbps) while Android sits at 8 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.
Tests from Egypt most often reached the Milan test server (35% 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.
