The competition for the fastest fixed broadband was neck-and-neck on the Speedtest Global Index during 2022, with Chile (216.23 Mbps) taking top honours and China (214.23 Mbps) and Singapore (214.23 Mbps) a hair behind.

Only Spain was replaced from the top 10 with the U.A.E. taking its place. Notably, China jumped four places from sixth to second, improving its median download speed from 146.62 Mbps in 2021 to 214.58 Mbps in 2022.

As for Tanzania, Ookla’s findings show that in 2022 the median country internet speed for fixed broadband was Mbps 13.22.
