Average Internet Speed in Latvia

Internet in Latvia: what the data shows

At a median 18.1 Mbps download, Latvia sits below the midpoint of the table: #84 of 119 ranked countries, 47% below the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, more than 7× the speed measured here.

Uploads keep pace with downloads (14.9 vs 18.1 Mbps): connections here are balanced, just not fast. Median latency is 71 ms. That is on the high side: pages and video still load, but calls, gaming and screen sharing carry a visible delay.

Tet tops the measured providers at 49 Mbps, about 2.7× the national median, so switching networks can matter as much as switching plans.

Desktop and mobile tests land at the same 18 Mbps median, so the experience translates directly across devices; mobile accounts for 33% of tests. By operating system, Mac OS devices record the quickest median (91 Mbps) while Windows sits at 11 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.

Tests from Latvia most often reached the Stockholm test server (36% 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.
