Average Internet Speed in Romania

Internet in Romania: what the data shows

At a median 39.0 Mbps download, Romania sits in the upper half of the table: #52 of 119 ranked countries, 15% above the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, about 3.7× faster.

The median upload is 30.0 Mbps, about 77% of the download rate: the balance typical of a market mixing fibre with cable or DSL plans. Median latency is 64 ms. That is on the high side: pages and video still load, but calls, gaming and screen sharing carry a visible delay.

Vodafone Romania tops the measured providers at 79 Mbps, about 2× the national median, so switching networks can matter as much as switching plans.

Desktops test faster than phones here (91 vs 31 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 77% of tests. By operating system, Mac OS devices record the quickest median (125 Mbps) while Android sits at 30 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.

Tests from Romania most often reached the Frankfurt test server (77% 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.
