Average Internet Speed in Peru

Internet in Peru: what the data shows

At a median 52.7 Mbps download, Peru sits in the upper half of the table: #32 of 119 ranked countries, 55% above the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, about 2.7× faster.

The median upload is 37.8 Mbps, about 72% of the download rate: the balance typical of a market mixing fibre with cable or DSL plans. Median latency is 46 ms. That works for streaming and browsing, though competitive gaming and video calls will feel it.

The provider table stretches wide: Claro Peru leads the measured ISPs at 162 Mbps, 3.1× 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 (118 vs 25 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 53% of tests. By operating system, Mac OS devices record the quickest median (121 Mbps) while Android sits at 22 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.

Tests from Peru most often reached the Lima test server (95% 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.
