Internet in Kuwait: what the data shows
At a median 8.5 Mbps download, Kuwait sits near the back of the field: #104 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 16× the speed measured here.
Uploads keep pace with downloads (7.5 vs 8.5 Mbps): connections here are balanced, just not fast. Median latency is 157 ms. That is on the high side: pages and video still load, but calls, gaming and screen sharing carry a visible delay.
Desktops test faster than phones here (45 vs 7 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 81% of tests.
Tests from Kuwait most often reached the London 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.
