Average Internet Speed in Nepal

Internet in Nepal: what the data shows

At a median 24.7 Mbps download, Nepal sits below the midpoint of the table: #73 of 119 ranked countries, 27% 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.

Uploads keep pace with downloads (26.8 vs 24.7 Mbps): connections here are balanced, just not fast. Median latency is 80 ms. That is on the high side: pages and video still load, but calls, gaming and screen sharing carry a visible delay.

WorldLink tops the measured providers at 42 Mbps, about 1.7× the national median, so switching networks can matter as much as switching plans.

Desktops test faster than phones here (44 vs 19 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 68% of tests. By operating system, Mac OS devices record the quickest median (52 Mbps) while Android sits at 18 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.

Tests from Nepal most often reached the Mumbai test server (62% 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.
