Methodology

Ookla publishes the results of Speedtest tests as map tiles of about 610 by 610 metres at the equator, each with the average download speed and the number of tests taken there in the quarter. This page assigns each tile to the country that contains its centre, using Natural Earth's 1:10m country borders, and averages the tiles' download speeds weighted by their number of tests. Tiles whose centre falls in no country, mostly at sea, are left out: about 2% of fixed tests and 2.5% of mobile tests.

Only countries with at least 10,000 tests in the quarter are ranked: 144 for fixed broadband and 105 for mobile. Fixed results come from tests over Wi-Fi or a wired connection, and mobile results from tests over a cellular network.

These are averages of the tests people chose to run, so they lean toward places and people who test more often. They are means, not medians, and differ from the median speeds in Ookla's Speedtest Global Index.
