India ranks 74 in Worldwide Broadband Speed League 2023

Significant speed improvements are ongoing in many parts of the world. 48 countries by June 2023 compared with 67 countries in mid-2022 failed to achieve average speeds of at least 10 Mbit/s.

The average global broadband speed has risen by 30% in the 12-month period to the end of June 2023, with Europe topping the chart as fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) continues its momentum by enticing consumers with its fast connectivity capabilities. The average download speed of broadband connectivity over the past 12 months was 46.79 Mbit/s, up from an average of 35.98 Mbit/s during the previous 12 months, according to Cable.co.uk.

Data from around 1.3 billion broadband speed tests across 220 countries and territories, which was collected by Measurement Lab (M-Lab) – a consortium led by Google and the charity Code for Science and Society Cable.co.uk was analysed. The insights cover a 12-month period between mid-2022 and 30 June 2023.

Europe topped the chart boasting 30 of the top-50 fastest-performing countries. Notably, western Europe was well behind other parts of the continent, housing eight of the 10 fastest countries in the world for broadband. In contrast – the Baltics and eastern Europe recorded slower broadband speeds (but were still in the top five areas globally).

North America also performed well over the past year, with an average download speed of 94.02 Mbit/s.

Countries in northern Africa had the lowest average speed in the world at 9.81 Mbit/s – a striking contrast with an average of 118.69 Mbit/s in western Europe.
