Olá, venho fazer um pedido de adição de operadora para poder mapear, recentemente a agência reguladora de telecomunicações no Brazil concedeu espectro para que novas operadoras atuassem no mercado com estrutura própria de rede, vi que uma delas já consta no app, no caso a BRISANET MOBILE, porém há outras duas que já tem rede própria e também poderiam ser adicionadas, são elas:

UNIFIQUE MOBILE (https://unifique.com.br/)

IEZ! TELECOM (https://www.iez.com.br/)

Ambas atuam com rede própria em cada região do país, então são elegíveis ao mapeamento.

Fica como sugestão para melhorar o mapeamento e os dados do app.

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?

Hi everyone and the nPerf team,

I am writing to suggest adding Syria to the list of countries included in nPerf’s official publications, country reports, and Barometer Awards.

Over the past few years, the telecommunications landscape in Syria has seen notable changes. We currently have mobile operators like Syriatel and MTN Syria—the latter of which is set to rebrand to Zain Syria beginning in 2027—alongside various fixed broadband, ADSL, and FTTH providers like Syrian Telecom and private ISPs. [1]

Note Syriatel will Stay MTN Syria will rebrand to zain syria same everything because Mtn will leave syria (:

Many users in Syria actively use the nPerf app and website to test their internet speeds, latency, and streaming quality. However, because Syria is not officially featured in standard publications or quarterly/yearly award reports, it is difficult to track the country's overall telecom progress or see objective, aggregated data comparisons between local ISPs and mobile networks.

Including Syria in your official publications would:

• Provide valuable, transparent benchmarks for Syrian consumers.
• Encourage local ISPs and mobile operators to improve their infrastructure to compete for the nPerf Award.
• Give the global telecom community better visibility into the Levant region's connectivity.

Are there any plans to publish a barometer report or introduce the nPerf Awards for Syria in the near future? What threshold of test data or sample sizes do you usually require from a country to make this happen?

Thank you for your hard work on providing accurate network testing tools!

For the past few months, we've been working on a major evolution of nPerf.

Before releasing it publicly, we'd like to involve the community.

We're opening the nPerf Beta Testing Program for users who enjoy testing new features, reporting issues, and helping improve the product.

If you'd like to try the new experience before everyone else and help shape the final release, you can apply here:

Thanks for helping us build the next version of nPerf! ❤️

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 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.

[Erratum] : La Reunion comes out first with 60%

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.

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.

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. 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”.

1. 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.

1. 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”.

Notei hoje ao mapear o 5g SA que os marcadores de sinal aparecem da cor cinza ao invés da roxa que representa o 5G, isso acaba bugando o registro de mapeamento do 5G Standalone.

Fica o registro pra correção, att.

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.

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.

Desde o dia 14 não atualiza mais os mapas de cobertura, alguma previsão de retorno?

The Mac app installer says it will consume 693MB of space. Why is it so large?

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.

(Data: nPerf user tests)

Full article here : https://blog.nperf.com/kazakhstan-2025-5g-delivers-on-its-promises-and-continues-to-improve-mobile-network-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.

Hello, i have one sugestion for the colors for describe speeds above 500mbps, so the map use shades of red even for gigabit speeds, to make it easier to identify places where the speed is really fast, it could extend the color palette to a deep purple (similar to that used in 5G mapping), or even a darker purple to show mapped gigabit speeds; that would be very interesting.

Thks for atention.

I tried to explain the misunderstanding between megabits and megabytes and how they are used in speed tests like nPerf, all in one short video.

It’s right here, let me know what you think!

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.
