Internet in North Macedonia: what the data shows
At a median 36.8 Mbps download, North Macedonia sits in the upper half of the table: #56 of 119 ranked countries, 9% above the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, about 3.9× faster.
Uploads trail well behind at 13.0 Mbps, roughly 35% of the download rate: download-tilted technologies such as cable, DSL and mobile broadband still carry most connections. Median latency is 41 ms. That works for streaming and browsing, though competitive gaming and video calls will feel it.
The provider table stretches wide: Makedonski Telekom leads the measured ISPs at 402 Mbps, 10.9× 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 (51 vs 18 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 33% of tests.
Tests from North Macedonia most often reached the Sofia test server (97% 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.
