Average European Internet Speed By Country In 2024

26 comments

Would love to see average cost per megabit as well.

Why is Romania hogging all the speed compared to their neighbours?

  It's wild that no other country copies the Romanian approach.

Sitting here in rural mountain Canada with 980Mbps 🥴
- Seems like you're definitely an outlier: https://dailyhive.com/canada/rogers-internet-bell-telus-fastest-provider-in-canada
  
  I definitely am. It's crazy that after moving from Toronto and formerly in Vancouver and Montreal that I have better access to faster Internet that's even cheaper than the metros is out here in the boonies.
- I'm in a Canadian metropolis and feel lucky for my 60mbps
  
  And this is why I'm in a Canadian metropolis and feel guilty for my 2Gbps
  
  I'm not even top tier Internet or here - 4 hours from any city...

Average is not that helpful, ADSL tops out at about 24Mbps, FTTC 80Mbps, and FTTP 2.5Gbps. however you can get the higher speed products in slower speeds, so a percentage of population per higher possible teir would be better to look at. My parents went with 200mbps cable, even though 1gbps was available, based on cost and need
- Feel free to share if you have a better map or table
  
  Best I can do is UK data https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/constituency-data-broadband-coverage-and-speeds/
  Most interesting is the second one, select national overview the slower connections. Unless you want a deep dive in to local constituency speeds
- To add to this, high speed plans can skew the results. A few years ago, the maximum available speed in my area was around 16Mbps over ADSL. It's an old area that had old copper lines to most buildings. Lots of places were still on around 3Mbps. Fibre rollout had recently started, so pockets had gigabit speeds. Because they were in the same postcode area, all the speed checker sites started saying that the average for the area was 75Mbps.

would love to see percent with data caps as well
- Not a thing on land lines in Europe
  
  not even Russia or Ukraine?

Is this community a move of !yurop@lemm.ee to piefed?
- Yes, that's the idea. I was feeling like people were missing the "casual" part of !yurop@lemm.ee, and were posting political content, which wasn't really in the scope.
  Also thought it would be nice to give the new Piefed features a try.
  
  cool! I’ll stay subbed to both, see what happens.
