With 5G already a reality in everyday life, these networks are gaining new capabilities and guaranteeing users even higher speeds. To measure and evaluate this reality, Ookla collects data from all over the planet and there is a winner announced.
Despite having the same principles and the same technology everywhere, 5G networks vary greatly between operators. Each one seeks to offer users the best speeds and the lowest latency possible, for a better user experience.
Ookla is known for offering information on the different networks of these operators in its service. At the same time, it collects user usage data and complements its maps and shared information.
The most recent analysis made to 5G networks discovered which country had the fastest and best quality of service offered. It was in the United Arab Emirates that average 5G download speeds of 557,63 Mbps were recorded in the second quarter of 2023.
If we look in more detail, we have the operator etisalat by e&, located in the United Arab Emirates, which has the fastest 5G network in the world. It achieves average speeds of 680,73 Mbps. Also du, another operator in that country, is among the main ones in 5G with a download speed of 453,93 Mbps.
The UAE is followed by South Korea (501,56 Mbps), Qatar (465,62 Mbps), Brazil (447,30 Mbps) and Singapore (388,55 Mbps) in the countries with the fastest 5G networks. It should be noted that these data refer to the second quarter of 2023.
