Average Internet Speed in Finland

Internet in Finland: what the data shows

At a median 78.8 Mbps download, Finland sits comfortably in the top quarter of the table: #16 of 119 ranked countries, 2.3× the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, about 1.8× faster.

Uploads trail well behind at 31.6 Mbps, roughly 40% of the download rate: download-tilted technologies such as cable, DSL and mobile broadband still carry most connections. Median latency is 33 ms. That is low enough for responsive video calls and online gaming on a typical connection.

The fastest measured provider, Elisa at 104 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 (90 vs 57 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 28% of tests. By operating system, iOS devices record the quickest median (99 Mbps) while Android sits at 49 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.

Tests from Finland most often reached the Helsinki test server (71% 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.
