As usual, we’re ending 2023 by taking a look back to see how the United Kingdom’s position, at least in terms of the top 50 fastest countries for both fixed broadband ISP and mobile (4G<\/a>, 5G<\/a>) data speeds, has changed since 2022. The UK fell from 44th to 51st for mobile and was unchanged at 56th for fixed lines.<\/p>\n

The following report was created by tracking the publicly available data released via Ookla’s popular Speedtest.net<\/strong><\/a> service for benchmarking internet connections around the world. Such services do have caveats, such as the fact that they can be impacted by other areas of the connection (e.g. slow Wi-Fi, local network congestion, the performance of speedtest.net’s own servers and consumer package choice), but these issues will be shared by all the countries in this study.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Data is gathered in late November each year. The figures are all ‘median<\/em>‘ averages.<\/div>\n

Otherwise, the main differentiator for speeds between countries tends to stem from the balance between network availability and the take-up of faster connection types. For example, countries with a high coverage of gigabit-capable broadband networks (FTTP<\/a>, DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 \u2013 4.0 etc.) or strong 5G<\/a> mobile services (with plenty of radio spectrum to harness) will naturally rank highest in the table.<\/p>\n

In terms of the UK, we\u2019ve seen a strong and continuous improvement in the availability of both faster fixed and mobile networks. For example, Ofcom<\/a> recently revealed (here<\/a>) that 1Gbps capable fixed gigabit broadband networks had reached 78% (up from 70% last year), which falls to 57% when only looking at full fibre \/ FTTP<\/a> lines (up from 42%).<\/p>\n

As for 5G<\/a> mobile, it is now available from at least one MNO (operator) in the vicinity of around 85-93% of UK premises (up from 67-78<\/span><\/span>% last year).<\/p>\n

Top 50 Fastest Countries for Broadband in 2023<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Overall we can see from the data below that fixed and mobile speeds have continued to improve across the world but, despite big improvements in UK full fibre and 5G coverage, other countries still seem able to improve their real-world performance at a faster or similar pace.<\/p>\n

Part of the issue here may be because the take-up of full fibre and gigabit-capable broadband lines in the UK is still in the early phase of growth and adoption often lags behind new network build (i.e. it takes time to grow, often 2-3 years in order to reach some degree of maturity in each location).<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve summarised some of the key changes below.<\/p>\n

Sadly, Ookla doesn’t make it easy to do the same table for uploads or latency.<\/p>\n
