Chile lidera la velocidad de subida en Sudamérica
Algunos datos interesantes sobre redes fijas a principios de 2026.
Chile está claramente por delante en velocidad de subida, con un promedio de ~276 Mbps, por encima de Perú (~222 Mbps) y Colombia (~163 Mbps).
La diferencia se nota bastante en el uso real.
Subir un archivo de unos 2 GB en Chile puede tardar menos de un minuto, mientras que en otros países de la región puede acercarse a los 2 minutos… o incluso más.
Después, la caída es bastante clara:
- Argentina → ~119 Mbps
- Paraguay → ~55 Mbps
- Bolivia → ~48 Mbps
Dependiendo del país, los tiempos de subida pueden ser fácilmente 2 a 4 veces más largos.
Lo interesante es que la velocidad de subida suele pasar desapercibida frente a la de descarga.
Pero es clave para cosas como el teletrabajo, las copias en la nube, el envío de archivos grandes o las videollamadas.
Chile no está solo un poco por delante, está consistentemente arriba, incluso mientras otros países mejoran su infraestructura.
Tengo curiosidad:
¿realmente se nota esta diferencia en el día a día o la velocidad de subida sigue siendo algo que la mayoría no percibe?

Where downloading GTA VI would be the fastest (based on current speeds)
Saw some data estimating download times for a game like GTA VI (~150 GiB).
Top countries based on fixed download speeds:
- France → ~462 Mbps → ~47 min
- Switzerland → ~455 Mbps → ~47 min
- Singapore → ~434 Mbps → ~50 min
- Slovenia → ~394 Mbps → ~55 min
- Canada → ~354 Mbps → ~1h01
So in the fastest countries, you’re looking at under 1 hour for a huge game.
What’s interesting is how fast the gap grows.
Same 150 GiB download:
- US → ~1h25
- UK → ~2h11
That’s more than double the time compared to the top countries.
And it gets even more noticeable with bigger files (200 GiB+), which is probably where things are going.
It’s a good reminder that for gaming, speed isn’t just about ping.
It directly affects:
preloads, updates, reinstalling games… basically how long you wait before actually playing.
Curious where people here are at.
How long does a ~100–150 GB download take for you right now?

Slovakia leads mobile streaming among similar economies (2026)
Slovakia comes out on top with ~81.7%, just ahead of Italy and France, both around 79%. The top of the ranking is actually quite tight, but things spread out quickly once you move down the list.
Some countries still sit in the high 70s, while others drop to the mid-60s, with Mexico at ~62.5%. That’s roughly a 20-point gap between the best and the lowest performers.
In practice, that difference is noticeable. Around 80%, streaming is smooth, even in HD or 4K. Closer to 65%, it still works, but buffering and loading times become more frequent, especially on higher quality.
What makes this interesting is that all these countries have similar GDP per capita. The difference isn’t really economic, it’s more about network infrastructure and how well it’s deployed.
Curious whether people actually feel that gap when streaming on mobile, or if it mostly shows up in measurements.

Mauritius is way ahead on mobile browsing in its region
Got some data on mobile web performance in East Africa / Indian Ocean.
Mauritius is at ~52%.
Then the rest are around:
- Madagascar → ~35%
- Kenya → ~33%
- Ethiopia → ~32%
So yeah… pretty big gap.
What’s interesting is how that actually feels.
At ~50%, things are mostly smooth. Pages load fast, switching between apps is fine, nothing really feels slow.
Around ~30–35%, it’s not broken, but you start noticing it. Pages take longer, feeds lag a bit, multitasking gets annoying. It’s the kind of difference you feel every day, not just in benchmarks.
Also weird that the others are all grouped together, and then Mauritius is just… ahead. Not a smooth progression, more like a split. Makes you realize how much infrastructure impacts daily stuff like scrolling, messaging, loading pages, etc.
Curious if people in these regions actually feel that difference
or if you just get used to it over time.

Italy leads web browsing performance in Southern Europe
Some interesting data on fixed internet in Southern Europe.
Italy comes out on top for web browsing, with a score around 77.7%, slightly ahead of Spain (~76.1%) and Slovenia (~73.3%).
The gap isn’t huge on paper, but even one point can mean noticeably faster page loads in real life, things like search results appearing instantly or pages loading without delay.
Behind that, it’s pretty tight:
- Montenegro → ~72.5%
- Serbia → ~72.2%
- Portugal → ~70.4%
So most countries are relatively close. Then you start seeing a bigger drop.
Greece, for example, sits around 60%, which can translate into pages taking almost twice as long to fully load in some cases.
What’s interesting here is that this isn’t about raw speed. This score reflects how fast and smoothly real websites load, social media, news, search, etc. So it’s much closer to what people actually feel day to day.
Southern Europe is fairly homogeneous,
but Italy has a small edge that’s actually noticeable in real usage.
Curious if people in these countries actually feel a difference,
or if it’s mostly invisible in day-to-day browsing.

5 things worth checking on your internet before trading
- Speed (yes, but not just that)
You need enough bandwidth to load charts and data smoothly. If your platform feels slow to load, that’s already a bad sign.
- Latency (ping)
This one matters a lot. It’s the delay between your action and the server response.
Higher ping = slower reactions, even if everything looks fine.
- Stability (jitter)
This is where things get tricky.
If your latency jumps up and down, your connection feels inconsistent.
In trading, that’s worse than just being “a bit slow”.
- Your connection setup
Wi-Fi can be fine… until it isn’t.
Distance, interference, other networks — all of that can affect it.
Ethernet is usually much more stable if you care about consistency.
- What else is using your network
Streaming, downloads, updates, other users…
Even if your platform is open, these can quietly mess with your connection.
You don’t need a perfect setup.
But if your connection is slightly off, you’re not really trading in the conditions you think you are.
Curious if people here actually check this,
or just assume their connection is “good enough”.

Morocco leads mobile performance among comparable economies in 2026
Interesting mobile network data from early 2026.
Among countries with a similar GDP per capita, Morocco comes out on top with 76,177 nPoints, just ahead of Vietnam at ~75k.
Then there’s a pretty massive drop.
Tunisia is already ~18k points behind, and countries like Egypt, Venezuela or Sri Lanka are much lower.
What’s interesting is that the ranking isn’t just about speed.
The score also includes:
- browsing responsiveness
- streaming quality
- network stability
- latency
So it reflects how the connection actually feels day to day.
And the gap is huge.
A country around ~75k nPoints generally delivers a pretty smooth experience:
fast social media loading, stable video calls, HD streaming without much buffering.
At ~15k, like Sri Lanka in this ranking, basic things like video streaming or downloads become much less reliable.
What I find interesting is that these countries have relatively comparable living standards, yet the mobile experience can feel completely different depending on infrastructure deployment and network maturity.
Shows how much telecom investment changes everyday digital life.

Trading: your internet connection might matter more than you think
People usually blame the broker or the platform when something feels off.
But sometimes… it’s just the connection.
Not a full outage.
Just small delays.
- charts updating a bit late
- orders taking slightly longer
- the platform feeling less responsive
Individually, it’s nothing.
But in trading, a few seconds can change everything.
Speed isn’t really the issue here. It’s more about latency and stability. You can have a fast connection and still be slightly “behind” what’s actually happening.
And if you’re on Wi-Fi, or sharing your connection with other devices, it gets even less predictable.
It’s kind of an invisible risk. Easy to ignore, but part of the chain.
Curious if people here have actually noticed this, or if it’s mostly negligible in real conditions.

AI is starting to show up everywhere in telecom, curious how you feel about it
Feels like AI is slowly getting integrated into telecom without people really noticing.
Not talking about ChatGPT-style stuff, but more what operators and devices are starting to do in the background.
For example:
- Real-time audio translation during calls (different languages, live)
- Network optimization (AI predicting congestion before it happens)
- Call quality enhancement (noise removal, voice isolation, etc.)
- Spam detection (blocking robocalls more intelligently)
- Customer support automation (chatbots, but getting less terrible)
What’s interesting is that a lot of this is already happening quietly.
You don’t really “see” AI, but it’s shaping how the network behaves.
At the same time, it raises a few questions, how much data is being analyzed behind the scenes? Are we trading privacy for better performance? Do people actually notice the improvements?
Personally I feel like some use cases (like noise reduction or spam detection) are clearly useful, but others feel a bit invisible or overhyped.
What are your thoughts on this ?

Kazakhstan: 5G rollout already impacting real-world mobile performance (nPerf data)
Body:
Since 5G launch in 2022, Kazakhstan shows clear performance gains:
- Download speeds ×1.6
- Latency ↓ 36.5%
By 2025:
- ~40.5 Mbps down / 13.5 Mbps up
5G usage is still limited (~6.75% of tests), but improvements are already visible, driven by both 5G rollout and continued 4G investment.
Even with low 5G share, network modernization (4G + 5G) can significantly improve real-world performance.

Using nPerf test data (2021 → Q1 2026), 5G share of mobile usage went from ~6% to ~28.5% globally, with a clear recent acceleration.
In Europe, some countries are already near parity:
- Germany → 49.2%
- Portugal → 48.3%
- France → 43.6%
- UK → 42.4%
- Italy → 40.3%
So in these markets, 5G is no longer marginal, it’s becoming the default access layer.
At the same time, adoption remains very uneven (e.g. ~6% in Nigeria, ~0% observed in Cameroon).
We’re not in a “deployment phase” anymore in some regions, but in a usage transition phase, which likely has implications for traffic patterns, congestion, and interconnection.

Some interesting data from Northern Europe this year.
Sweden comes out on top overall (~123k), just ahead of Norway (~119k) and Denmark (~118k). Finland trails a bit (~101k), but the whole region is performing at a high level.
What stands out with Sweden is balance:
- ~201 Mbps download
- ~158 Mbps upload
- ~26 ms latency
Strong across the board, likely helped by growing fiber adoption.
Other countries shine in specific areas.
Denmark leads in browsing (~80.6%), so websites load very fast.
Norway leads in streaming (~83.5%) with similarly low latency (~26 ms).
Finland is a bit behind mainly due to higher latency (~40 ms), but still solid overall.
Across the region, speeds above 100 Mbps are basically standard.
It’s a good reminder that performance isn’t just one number — speed, latency, browsing, streaming all matter.
TL;DR
Sweden leads overall.
Denmark = best browsing.
Norway = best streaming.
Northern Europe = very strong networks.

Some interesting numbers from 2025 mobile network tests.
In La Réunion and Guadeloupe, average mobile speeds are roughly twice as high as in mainland France.
Download speeds:
- Guadeloupe → ~236 Mbps
- La Réunion → ~227 Mbps
- Mainland France → ~118 Mbps
Upload speeds:
- Guadeloupe → ~31.4 Mbps
- La Réunion → ~28 Mbps
- Mainland France → ~15.7 Mbps
So yeah, on average, overseas users are getting about 2x the throughput.
But raw speed isn’t the whole story.
Latency and real usage differ depending on the territory.
- La Réunion → ~23 ms latency
- Guadeloupe → ~32 ms
- Mainland France → ~34 ms
La Réunion is noticeably more responsive, which matters for gaming, calls, etc.
Browsing performance is a bit different:
- Guadeloupe → ~73.4%
- Mainland → ~73.7%
- La Réunion → ~64.9%
So despite higher speeds, La Réunion shows weaker web browsing performance.
Streaming is pretty similar across the board, around ~80%, so HD video is generally fine.
5G is still not dominant, but growing fast.
Share of tests done on 5G:
- La Réunion → 9% → 33% (2023 → 2025)
- Guadeloupe → 0.16% → 20%
So adoption is clearly accelerating, especially in La Réunion.
One likely explanation for the higher speeds:
Smaller territories → more concentrated infrastructure → fewer rural coverage constraints compared to mainland France.
TL;DR
- Overseas France ≈ 2x faster mobile speeds than mainland France
- La Réunion = best latency
- Guadeloupe = better browsing
- 5G growing fast but still not dominant
- Smaller geography likely helps performance
Curious if people in other regions see similar patterns where smaller territories outperform larger countries.
