Ookla, which operates the popular internet Speedtest.net<\/a> benchmarking service, has published the results of an interesting new study that examines how mobile broadband (4G<\/a> and 5G<\/a>) performance (i.e. downloads and latency) differs between local vs roaming connectivity across the United Kingdom and European Union.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, residents from 17 countries showed faster local download speeds than roaming speeds when considering results over all technologies during Q2 2023. The 11 exceptions were Romania, Belgium, Hungary, Estonia, the UK, Greece, and Spain, which all showed faster roaming speeds, and Latvia, Malta, Ireland, and Italy, which showed only slightly improved speeds.<\/p>\n

However, the situation did change a bit when only looking at 5G<\/a> connections, which found that 20 countries showed faster local 5G<\/a> download speeds than roaming 5G speeds during Q2 2023. Customers from Italy roaming in Portugal saw one of the fastest median roaming download speeds over 5G in all of Europe at 317.94 Mbps.<\/p>\n

Looking at the highest results from all technologies combined, Latvians roaming in Finland experienced the fastest median download speed of 137.49Mbps. On the other end of the scale, Slovakian visitors to Poland had one of the slowest median download speeds over all technologies while roaming during the same time period at 10.82Mbps. Polish roamers also saw a median download speed of 13.27Mbps in the UK and 14.78 Mbps in Romania.<\/p>\n

Overall, ten of the 20 slowest roaming speeds on Ookla’s country-by-country list for all technologies were for Europeans roaming in the UK. “This means that travellers going to the U.K are not only seeing poorer performance, they could also be paying more for the privilege as they do not benefit from \u201cRoam Like at Home\u201d regulations<\/em>,” said the study.<\/p>\n

Germans in Italy had the slowest median 5G download speed on the list during Q2 2023 at 33.64Mbps, while Austrians in the UK saw a median download speed over 5G of 41.57 Mbps.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> DL = ‘Download’ below and the scores are all in Megabits per second (Mbps) – average median speeds.<\/div>\n

However, a much bigger gap tends to present itself when examining network latency, which reflects the response time of online servers in milliseconds (i.e. lower figures are faster). Residents of every country surveyed had a much higher multi-server latency when roaming, which is to be expected because of the extra routing that goes into confirming and operating a roaming connection.<\/p>\n

The difference was smallest in Italy and France, where locals had about a 97% higher latency when roaming compared to at home. Now on the surface that might actually seem like a lot, but residents of Cyprus saw over a 615% higher latency while roaming compared to at home.<\/p>\n
