Average Internet Speed in Guatemala

Internet in Guatemala: what the data shows

At a median 37.5 Mbps download, Guatemala sits in the upper half of the table: #54 of 119 ranked countries, 11% above the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, about 3.8× faster.

The median upload is 17.1 Mbps, about 46% of the download rate: the balance typical of a market mixing fibre with cable or DSL plans. Median latency is 75 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 Guatemala at 53 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 (45 vs 22 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 (81 Mbps) while Android sits at 16 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.

Tests from Guatemala most often reached the Miami test server (82% 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.
