5G speeds outpace WiFi speeds in leading 5G countries
Current 5G speeds in leading 5G countries in Europe and the Middle East allow for faster downloads than WiFi in those countries, with seven out of eight leading 5G countries globally boasting 5G download speeds that exceed WiFi download speeds dramatically.

The research, gathered by OpenSignal "demonstrates that 5G greatly improves the real-world speeds that users experience. And, even more significantly, 5G offers faster average download speeds than Wifi in seven out of eight leading 5G countries.

"Our findings show the importance of not letting the current COVID-19 crisis — or active anti-5G disinformation campaigns — delay 5G rollouts because the increased capacity and faster speeds that 5G enables are critical to keeping people connected today and in the future with rising network usage."

Europe

Switzerland holds the record for the fastest 5G download speed in Europe, with an average download speed of 201.9 Mbps, outpacing its WiFi download speeds of 73.9 Mbps, followed by Spain which has a 146.8Mbps 5G download speed, dwarfing the country’s WiFi download speed of 47Mbps.
