Average Internet Speed in Jamaica

Internet in Jamaica: what the data shows

At a median 26.0 Mbps download, Jamaica sits below the midpoint of the table: #70 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 19.9 Mbps, about 77% of the download rate: the balance typical of a market mixing fibre with cable or DSL plans. Median latency is 58 ms. That works for streaming and browsing, though competitive gaming and video calls will feel it.

The provider table stretches wide: Flow Jamaica leads the measured ISPs at 106 Mbps, 4.1× 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 (34 vs 14 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 30% of tests. By operating system, Windows devices record the quickest median (38 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 Jamaica most often reached the Miami test server (86% 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.
