Countries with the fastest average mobile internet speed 2021
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and South Korea boast some of the fastest average mobile internet connections in the world, with each of these countries registering average speeds in excess of 200 Mbps as of October 2021. UAE was the fastest, with an average connection speed of 273.87 Mbps, considerably higher than the runner-up South Korea, which registered average mobile connection speeds of 214.47 Mbps.
Now that 5G is commercially available, researchers have already turned their attention to 6G. Operating at a higher spectrum band, 6G will allow connections several times faster than 5G. User experienced data rates of 5G sit at 100 Mbps, and this speed is expected to climb to 1,000 Mbps. Not only faster, 6G will enable more devices to connect to a network without causing congestion, with a connection density ten times greater than that of 5G.
Fixed-connection speeds around the world
When it comes to fixed broadband connections, Monaco tops the list of countries by average connection speed. Internet users in Monaco achieve an average fixed broadband connection speed of 270.25 Mbps, slightly faster than the 260.35 Mbps achieved in Hong Kong, the second-placed country on the speed rankings.5G and 6G – the future of mobile broadband
In countries where it is in use, 5G is already bringing faster mobile internet connection speeds than ever before. In Saudi Arabia for example, the average 4G connection speed sits at 28.9 Mbps, and this speed jumps to 414.2 Mbps on a 5G connection.Now that 5G is commercially available, researchers have already turned their attention to 6G. Operating at a higher spectrum band, 6G will allow connections several times faster than 5G. User experienced data rates of 5G sit at 100 Mbps, and this speed is expected to climb to 1,000 Mbps.
