Internet in Switzerland: what the data shows
At a median 93.1 Mbps download, Switzerland sits inside the top tenth of the table: #8 of 119 ranked countries, 2.7× the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, about 1.5× faster.
The median upload is 53.5 Mbps, about 57% 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.
The provider table stretches wide: Init7 leads the measured ISPs at 293 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 (107 vs 62 Mbps): home Wi-Fi and wired links outrun the mobile networks that carry 29% of tests. By operating system, Mac OS devices record the quickest median (155 Mbps) while Android sits at 49 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.
Tests from Switzerland most often reached the Frankfurt test server (65% 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.
