We are used to seeing new brands of maximum internet speed both at home and in mobile networks. This time it is a new report that shows which country has the fastest Internet speed and is probably not one of those entering the pool: it is about Monaco. It has ousted other countries from the top spot and thus establishes a new brand.
Monaco, the country with the fastest Internet
When we think about which country will be better internet connectionnations such as Singapore, South Korea or Japan, among other countries that tend to top the top, will surely come to mind. However, this time we have to give the news that Monaco is the country that has, at least currently, the fastest Internet speed.
This is shown by the punctual report that they carry out from Ookla’s Speedtest Global Index and that corresponds to the speed of last June. Specifically, the average speed is 260.74 Mbps in broadband. Exceeds Singapore, which it unseated from the first place, with 252.68 Mbps.
This micro-state has great fiber optic Internet infrastructures. It is logical if we think about its small size and compare it, for example, with its neighboring country France. It is a territory where deploying this type of technology is much less expensive and easily reaches all homes, without losing as much quality as it would happen in much larger nations.
Close the podium Hong Kong, which is another territory that is usually always in the top positions. Its speed in this case is 248.94 Mbps.
The following positions are for Romania Y Denmark, which are 220.67 Mbps and 217.18 Mbps, respectively. Very similar speeds, as well as the sixth since it is Swiss with 215.57 Mbps or Thailand with 214.47 Mbps.
And what about mobile speed? In this case there are changes in the first countries. The list tops it United Arab Emirates with an average speed of 193.51 Mbps, it is followed by South Korea with 180.40 Mbps and Qatar closes the podium with 171.76 Mbps.
What average Internet speed does Spain have?
If we go to internet broadband, Spain ranks number 13 with an average speed of 194.98 Mbps. On the other hand, if we look at the speed of Mobile data It is in position 37, with 59.02 Mbps.
Therefore, in broadband we can say that Spain is one of the leading countries in Europe, but if we think about mobile data things change and we drop quite a few positions. However, the increasing expansion of 5G is sure to make it climb a few positions in a short time.
In short, Monaco is today the country in the world with the fastest Internet connection at a domestic level and the United Arab Emirates has the same award in terms of mobile data. At least that is how the report by Ookla’s Speedtest Global Index, which measures the speed in the different nations of the world, collects it.
