Average Internet Speed in Taiwan

Internet in Taiwan: what the data shows

At a median 19.8 Mbps download, Taiwan sits below the midpoint of the table: #82 of 119 ranked countries, 42% below the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, more than 7× the speed measured here.

The median upload is 10.2 Mbps, about 52% of the download rate: the balance typical of a market mixing fibre with cable or DSL plans. Median latency is 87 ms. That is on the high side: pages and video still load, but calls, gaming and screen sharing carry a visible delay.

FarEasTone tops the measured providers at 42 Mbps, about 2.1× the national median, so switching networks can matter as much as switching plans.

Phones out-test desktops (23 vs 16 Mbps), a mobile-first pattern: cellular networks often outrun the fixed lines here, and mobile devices run 55% of tests. By operating system, Android devices record the quickest median (23 Mbps) while Windows sits at 17 Mbps, usually a proxy for the networks and hardware each platform rides on rather than the software itself.

Tests from Taiwan most often reached the Singapore test server (50% 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.
