The Speedtest Global Index published regularly by Ookla is based on several million individual measurements in April 2022 from 181 countries.

The following diagrams show the development of the various telephone and Internet connections as a percentage of the country’s population. Values above 100% mean that, on average, every inhabitant has more than one connection.
