Cities with the fastest internet

Catalog ranked by median fixed-broadband download speed. Critical filter for remote workers and gamers.

Why this list matters

For remote workers, anything above 100 Mbps fixed download is comfortable for daily video calls and large file syncs. Below 50 Mbps starts to bite during peak hours. The catalog leans fast — most major cities clear the comfortable bar by a wide margin.

The figure is median fixed broadband — mobile speeds are usually slower; coworking-space speeds are usually faster.

What this list doesn't tell you

The figure is a city median — actual speed depends on building wiring, ISP, and time of day. Latency to specific destinations (e.g., US server pools from Asia) is a separate concern that bandwidth alone doesn't capture.
