Mobile and fixed-line networks are faster than ever, according to new numbers from Ookla. Despite the challenges of the past year, mobile network speeds in July of 2021 globally are up about 60% compared to July 2020, while wireline network speeds around the world have increased 32%.
This continues a trend of consistently increasing speeds over the last two years, Ookla says — which was only interrupted for two months during February and March of 2020, coinciding with large-scale global shutdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic.
