Median download

332.1Mbit/s

Ookla Speedtest Global Index, median country speeds updated August 2026. The ranked table is the one whose global row is 129.68 Mbps download, 64.69 Mbps upload, and 9 ms latency. That is the fixed-broadband table. France is rank 5 at 332.10 Mbps median download. The same page’s mobile table, global download 202.21 Mbps and latency 29 ms, is not this list. A second table with global download 256.16 Mbps and latency 17 ms is not this list either. 332.10 Mbps on the Speedtest page is the same decimal megabit listed here as Mbit/s.

Mechanism

Why it's so fast

France's figure is a fixed-broadband median download of 332.10 Mbps on the Speedtest Global Index updated August 2026. The table’s global row is 129.68 Mbps and 9 ms. A median of user tests is not a lab peak.

  1. Which table

    The same page also says a mobile table at 202.21 Mbps global download and 29 ms, and another table at 256.16 Mbps and 17 ms. France is ranked only on the 9 ms fixed-broadband table. Mixing those medians would change the order.

  2. The next published median

    France ranks higher on the page’s 17 ms table. That median is not a separate figure. The fixed-broadband figure is 332.10 Mbps, behind Hong Kong at 362.27 and ahead of Macau at 321.88.

On the same table: Macau.
