![]() All of the countries listed on the table below are to be commended for making mobile internet faster. Vietnam came in second with an increase of 188.7% and Trinidad and Tobago was third at 133.1%. With a 249.5% jump in mobile download speeds, Laos showed the largest improvement in the world. It was a good year for Laotian mobile speeds. Mobile download speeds in Laos increased 249.5% in 2017. As we reported last week, gigabit Speedtest results are rolling in from across the planet, but their distribution across continents is wildly uneven. On the fixed broadband side, 71 countries and regions beat the global average download speed and 185 were slower. In November 2017, 119 countries boasted a faster mobile download speed than the global average while 134 were slower. Uploads over fixed broadband showed the smallest increase of 25.9%. A global average of 40.11 Mbps makes fixed broadband downloads 97.8% faster than mobile and this speed increased 31.6% during the same period. With a mean global speed of 20.28 Mbps, mobile downloads increased 30.1% over the last 12 months and mobile uploads increased 38.9%. Fixed broadband downloads increased 31.6%. The world’s mobile download speed increased 30.1% in 2017. Global download speeds are up more than 30% across the board Global speeds are a weighted average of all samples from around the world.

We used the same monthly threshold for this article that we do for inclusion in the Speedtest Global Index: to be ranked in each category, countries must have at least 670 Speedtest results from unique users on mobile and at least 3,333 for fixed broadband. The comparisons here are based on Speedtest data from November 2016-November 2017. Read on to see who’s winning the internet speed race and who has a lot of catching up to do. Here we’ve paired data about those individual country speeds over the past year with the new global averages call out which countries have improved most over the past year, who’s shown the least improvement and what speeds are like in the world’s most populous countries. ![]() You can still use the Speedtest Global Index to see download and upload speeds by country and rank who’s fastest and slowest. To provide you that worldwide context, we’re introducing Global Speed, the average internet speed of the world, to the top of the Speedtest Global Index. Knowing what your speeds are and how they compare to your neighbors’ makes for a good story, but what was missing was a benchmark. In August, we launched Speedtest Global Index TM to provide you that objective look at internet performance around the world. In a world where business and life are increasingly fast and global, you want to know if your country’s internet is up to speed. ![]()
