Average Internet Speed in Libya

Internet in Libya: what the data shows

At a median 6.7 Mbps download, Libya sits near the back of the field: #109 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 21× the speed measured here.

Uploads keep pace with downloads (9.0 vs 6.7 Mbps): connections here are balanced, just not fast. Median latency is 77 ms. That is on the high side: pages and video still load, but calls, gaming and screen sharing carry a visible delay.

Phones out-test desktops (8 vs 4 Mbps), a mobile-first pattern: cellular networks often outrun the fixed lines here, and mobile devices run 71% of tests. By operating system, Android devices record the quickest median (6 Mbps) while Windows sits at 4 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.

Tests from Libya most often reached the Milan test server (49% 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.
