#OOKLA SPEEDTEST INTERNET DOWNLOAD#
There was a similar dip in download speed over fixed broadband in March of 2020 as we saw on mobile. On fixed broadband, mean download speed was 68.2% faster in July 2021 than in July 2019, 131.3% faster in July 2021 than in July 2018, and 196.1% faster in July 2021 than in June 2017. This coincides with initial lockdowns due to COVID-19 in many countries. Speeds began increasing again in April 2020, but did not recover to pre-February levels until May 2020. Over the last two years there were only two months when the global average for mobile download speed did not show an upward slope: February and March 2020. Looking further back, mean download speed over mobile was 98.9% faster in July 2021 than in July 2019, 141.4% faster when comparing July 2021 to July 2018, and 194.0% faster when comparing July 2021 to June 2017, the month we began tracking speeds on the Speedtest Global Index. Mobile saw an increase of 59.5% when comparing July 2020 to July 2021 and fixed broadband saw an increase of 31.9%, according to the Speedtest Global Index. The global mean of download speeds improved over the last 12 months on both mobile and fixed broadband to 55.07 Mbps and 107.50 Mbps, respectively, in July 2021. Mobile download speed jumped 59.5% over the last year globally, fixed broadband up 31.9% Today we’re taking a look back at how much internet speeds have increased over the past four years and which countries have seen some of the largest gains. But two things remain the same: the internet is getting faster and the Speedtest Global Index is still a fantastic resource for tracking improvements on a global and country level (if we do say so ourselves). Little did we know how much was about to change. “A lot has changed” we wrote in our 2019 global roundup of internet speeds based on the Speedtest Global Index ™.
