Average Internet Speed in Réunion

Internet in Réunion: what the data shows

At a median 12.7 Mbps download, Réunion sits near the back of the field: #98 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 11× the speed measured here.

Uploads trail well behind at 2.9 Mbps, roughly 23% of the download rate: download-tilted technologies such as cable, DSL and mobile broadband still carry most connections. Median latency is 243 ms. That is on the high side: pages and video still load, but calls, gaming and screen sharing carry a visible delay.

Desktops test faster than phones here (15 vs 8 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 31% of tests.

Tests from Réunion most often reached the Frankfurt test server (39% 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.
