The mobile Internet in Brazil had an average speed of 22.77 Mb/s in the second quarter of 2022, which made the country climb two positions in the global ranking.
Still, it appears in the 80th position in the competition between nations, according to the latest Ookla Speedtest report released on Monday, July 18.
Claro provides the fastest 4G mobile connection in the market.
When it comes to latency – the time it takes for a small data packet to reach its destination and return to the origin machine – TIM took the lead in both mobile and fixed accesses.
The Ookla Speedtest also listed the fastest fixed broadband providers in the country. Claro (formerly Net) again took the top spot in the download speed criterion.
4G: OPERATORS WITH THE FASTEST INTERNET IN BRAZIL
According to Speedtest Intelligence, Claro presented last quarter the 4G mobile internet with the fastest download rate in the country, with 31.93 Mb/s speed.
In the second place, Vivo was far behind (20.76 Mb/s).
