5G was a key effort for many providers around the globe, with 6,629 deployments in 2019. We also saw download speeds increase in most countries. The poster highlights some specific achievements, like Bosnia and Herzegovina’s 359% increase in speed.

We saw gigabit-speed Speedtest® results increase exponentially in 2019, which helped drive a global jump in mean download speed over fixed broadband. Singapore was the country with the fastest mean download speed and Kuwait showed the most improvement last year. To stay up to date on performance in specific countries, refer to the Speedtest Global Index for monthly comparisons of internet speeds.
