Average Internet Speed in Uruguay

Internet in Uruguay: what the data shows

At a median 34.3 Mbps download, Uruguay sits in the upper half of the table: #59 of 119 ranked countries, essentially level with the global median of 33.9 Mbps. The world's fastest median belongs to the United States at 144 Mbps, more than 4× the speed measured here.

The median upload is 24.0 Mbps, about 70% of the download rate: the balance typical of a market mixing fibre with cable or DSL plans. Median latency is 44 ms. That works for streaming and browsing, though competitive gaming and video calls will feel it.

Among providers with enough measured tests, ANTEL leads at 41 Mbps.

Desktop and mobile tests land close together (33 and 34 Mbps), so the experience translates across devices; mobile accounts for 77% of tests.

Tests from Uruguay most often reached the Buenos Aires test server (96% 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.
