5G speed: Top 10 cities and countries in the world
The latest Opensignal report has revealed the top 10 cities and top 10 countries in terms of 5G speed.
Users in the city of Jeonju have both the fastest average 5G Download Speed of any city in South Korea as well as the fastest experience in any city OpenSignal analyzed. Jeonju’s 5 G Download Speed of 415.6 Mbps is 15% faster than South Korea’s national result.
Only three of the cities in the 5G global top ten are capital cities: Riyadh, Tokyo, and Dublin. Of the other cities, several are key business centres, notably Dubai, Zurich and Barcelona. Perhaps most notably, the fastest 5G city in Spain and Australia top their local rival cities, with Melbourne beating Sydney to be Australia’s fastest city and Barcelona topping Spain’s capital Madrid. While those living in Canada’s most highly populated cities — Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver — must venture to the winter sports destination of Calgary to see Canada’s fastest average 5G Download Speed.
Jeonju (South Korea), Hsinchu (Taiwan), Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Dubai (UAE), Tokyo (Japan), Melbourne (Australia), Zurich (Switzerland), Dublin (Ireland), Barcelona (Spain), Calgary (Canada) are the top 10 cities that top the chart on 5G network speed.

A number of large and early 5G markets miss out on a top 10 position. For example, while Germany is among the top 10 for 5G Upload Speed, it misses out on both 5G Download Speed and 5G Peak Download Speed and 5G Video Experience. Similarly, Italy misses out from placing in the leaderboard in all the 5G categories.
Users in Thailand and the Philippines see the biggest improvement in their experience using 5G compared with 4G. Looking at average download speeds, users in those markets see an improvement of approximately ten times faster with 5G over 4G.
