Internet in Iraq: what the data shows
At a median 15.2 Mbps download, Iraq sits near the back of the field: #92 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 9× the speed measured here.
Uploads keep pace with downloads (21.4 vs 15.2 Mbps): connections here are balanced, just not fast. Median latency is 83 ms. That is on the high side: pages and video still load, but calls, gaming and screen sharing carry a visible delay.
The provider table stretches wide: Supercell Network leads the measured ISPs at 48 Mbps, 3.1× the national median. A spread like that opens up where full-fibre networks compete against legacy copper and cable, so which network serves your address changes more than any plan upgrade.
Desktops test faster than phones here (21 vs 15 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 92% of tests. By operating system, Windows devices record the quickest median (19 Mbps) while Android sits at 14 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.
Tests from Iraq most often reached the Sofia test server (53% 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.
