Average Internet Speed in Lebanon

Internet in Lebanon: what the data shows

At a median 3.0 Mbps download, Lebanon sits near the back of the field: #116 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 47× the speed measured here.

Uploads keep pace with downloads (5.6 vs 3.0 Mbps): connections here are balanced, just not fast. Median latency is 95 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: Sodetel leads the measured ISPs at 11 Mbps, 3.7× 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 (4 vs 3 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 65% of tests. Medians barely move by operating system: every measured platform lands around 3 Mbps, so the network, not the device, sets the pace.

Tests from Lebanon most often reached the London test server (46% 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.
