Average Internet Speed in Norway

Internet in Norway: what the data shows

At a median 85.4 Mbps download, Norway sits comfortably in the top quarter of the table: #12 of 119 ranked countries, 2.5× the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, about 1.7× faster.

The median upload is 56.9 Mbps, about 67% of the download rate: the balance typical of a market mixing fibre with cable or DSL plans. Median latency is 34 ms. That is low enough for responsive video calls and online gaming on a typical connection.

Altibox tops the measured providers at 159 Mbps, about 1.9× the national median, so switching networks can matter as much as switching plans.

Desktops test faster than phones here (93 vs 75 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 38% of tests. By operating system, iOS devices record the quickest median (139 Mbps) while Android sits at 53 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.

Tests from Norway most often reached the Oslo test server (75% 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.
