Leia em português

Brazil has become increasingly reliant on the internet for banking, business, telecommunication and leisure during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the country ranked 49th in the world for fixed broadband speed and 74th for mobile speed according to April 2021 data from the Speedtest Global Index^™. In fact, Brazil’s fixed broadband speed has improved 69.2% year-over-year thanks to FTTH investments, moving the country up seven places from 56th in April 2020 to 49th in the Speedtest Global Index in April 2021. Brazil is on the brink of an internet revolution, with an upcoming 5G spectrum auction and future broadband investments becoming a priority. In this article, we examine fixed and mobile internet performance speeds, state-level performance, provider ratings and fastest providers, as well as city-level data on Brazil’s most populous cities to see which parts of the country are already enjoying faster speeds.

Colombia was third (31.02 Mbps download / 6.67 Mbps upload), Mexico fourth (28.48 Mbps download / 7.57 Mbps upload) and Argentina fifth (28.10 Mbps download / 6.29 Mbps upload).

Brazil’s fastest mobile operator is far ahead of the competition

Claro had the fastest median mobile download and upload speeds

ookla_speedtest_median_mobile_speeds_brazil_0521_en

During Q1 2021, Claro had the fastest median mobile download and upload speeds in Brazil among top providers — an operator or ISP accounting for 3% or more of total test samples in the market for the entire period — at 27.54 Mbps (download) and 8.77 Mbps (upload). Vivo was second (19.53 Mbps download / 6.80 upload), TIM third (14.88 Mbps download / 6.55 Mbps upload) and Oi fourth (10.93 Mbps download / 4.90 Mbps upload).

We expect that Brazil’s mobile speeds will continue to accelerate as 5G technology becomes more accessible and network providers invest in more 5G deployments. An upcoming spectrum auction could improve 5G offerings for consumers and dramatically accelerate Brazilians’ mobile experience.

Network performance is often an important factor to a customer’s experience, but it’s not the only thing people take into consideration when evaluating their internet providers. We used Speedtest Consumer Sentiment^™ data on five-star ratings and Net Promoter Score (NPS) to better understand how network performance impacts customer satisfaction in Brazil during Q1 2021.

According to Consumer Sentiment data, Brazil’s mobile network operators scored among consumers during Q1 2021: Claro had the best NPS score in Brazil at -6.17. Vivo was second (-13.32), TIM third (-17.82), and Oi fourth (-30.51). These scores happen to directly correspond to mobile performance among Brazil’s top providers, though there could be a host of other factors to account for in these scores.

Vivo had the fastest fixed broadband performance

ookla_speedtest_median_fixed_speeds_brazil_0521_en

Brazil’s top fixed broadband providers had a competitive race for fastest provider in Brazil during Q1 2021.

Faster mobile speeds are just around the corner for Brazil

Despite numerous political challenges, the Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency (Agency Nacional de Telecomunicacoes or Anatel) is inching closer to holding a massive 5G spectrum auction that is expected to take place around the end September or October. This auction aims to enable Brazilian operators to significantly boost their coverage footprint and capacity, and improve overall end user experience. Anatel will auction several ranges of spectrum:

700 MHz: multiple 10 MHz FDD blocks nationwide
3.5 GHz: two 100 MHz blocks and one 80 MHz nationwide
2.3 GHz: one 50 MHz block and one 40 MHz regional block
26 GHz (mmWave): five 400 MHz nationwide blocks and three regional blocks

Additionally, Anatel mandates that participating mobile operators deploy Standalone (SA) 5G networks by 2022 instead of relying on the Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) technology, which allows operators to use the existing 4G spectrum for both 4G and 5G operation. DSS technology is already in use by Brazilian operators, but the overall network capacity tends to be reduced due to the overhead associated with running both technologies on the same slice of spectrum. The injection of hundreds of megahertz of greenfield spectrum assets to the Brazilian mobile market promises an enhanced 5G coverage across wider geographies using the 700 MHz licenses, multi-gigabit speeds that come with 3.5 GHz and the millimeter wave, and endless opportunities for the enterprise segment of the industry.

Brazil remains an exciting market to watch and we’ll continue to monitor their internet performance for newsworthy events. If you want to learn more about Speedtest Intelligence and Speedtest Consumer Sentiment, please contact us.

Velocidades móveis mais rápidas estão chegando no Brasil

Apesar de vários desafios políticos, a Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações do Brasil (ou Anatel) está prestes a realizar um leilão de espectro 5G massivo que deve ocorrer no final de setembro ou outubro. Esse leilão visa permitir que as operadoras brasileiras aumentem significativamente presença e capacidade de cobertura e melhorem a experiência geral do usuário final. A Anatel vai leiloar várias faixas de espectro:

700 MHz: vários blocos FDD de 10 MHz em todo o país
3,5 GHz: dois blocos de 100 MHz e um de 80 MHz em todo o país
2,3 GHz: um bloco de 50 MHz e um bloco regional de 40 MHz
26 GHz (mmWave): cinco blocos de 400 MHz em todo o país e três blocos regionais

Além disso, a Anatel exige que as operadoras móveis participantes implantem redes 5G autônomas (SA) até 2022, em vez de depender da tecnologia de compartilhamento dinâmico de espectro (DSS), que permite às operadoras usar o espectro 4G existente para operação 4G e 5G. A tecnologia DSS já está em uso pelas operadoras brasileiras, mas a capacidade geral da rede tende a ser reduzida diante da sobrecarga associada à execução de ambas as tecnologias na mesma fatia do espectro. A entrada de centenas de megahertz de ativos de espectro Greenfield para o mercado móvel brasileiro promete uma cobertura 5G aprimorada em áreas geográficas mais amplas usando as licenças de 700 MHz, velocidades multigigabit que vêm com 3,5 GHz, bem como a onda milimétrica e oportunidades infinitas para o segmento empresarial da indústria.

O Brasil continua sendo um mercado animador de se observar e continuaremos monitorando o desempenho dele na internet em relação aos eventos de interesse jornalístico. Se você quiser saber mais sobre Speedtest Intelligence e Speedtest Consumer Sentiment, entre em contato conosco.

4G LTE signal strength varies in Peru’s most populous cities

We explored mobile performance in several key cities in Peru — Lima, Arequipa and Trujillo — using Cell Analytics data from Q2-Q3 2021. Each of these maps shows the strongest 4G RSRP signal strength in a given area, which can help mobile operators find areas they can improve their networks. Cell Analytics can identify the strongest RSRP by mobile network provider for a given area if there is a statistically significant winner and color codes that plot bin to the provider’s color. Provider-level maps show the performance of individual providers for a given area, with pink and red showing a strong signal and blue indicating a weak signal.

Fierce competition for best 4G LTE RSRP in Lima

Located on the western shore of Lima, the Magdalena del Mar, San Isidro and Jesús María districts paint a stunning picture of Peru’s top providers. The image below shows where a provider had the strongest 4G LTE RSRP signal strength during Q2-Q3 2021. Bitel had a strong presence in the east of the map, while Claro, Entel and Movistar were in fierce competition in the center of this map, with Claro and Movistar having contiguous areas of strong signals near the beach.

cell-analytics_best_rsrp_lima_1021_en

The maps below show where each top provider has high and low signal strength data. Movistar offered areas of strong RSRP signal strength in red near the top and bottom of the maps in the San Isidro and Jesús María districts, though there were weak signal strengths in blue and green throughout the Magdalena district. Claro had a strong presence near the beach and throughout the edges of the map, though there were areas of weaker signal inland. Cell Analytics showed Entel has strong signal strength in red in the top of this map, though near the west edge, there were a few concentrated weaker areas.

Room for growth in Peru’s mobile and fixed broadband markets, but further 5G adaptation will make upgrades more affordable

Earlier this year the Peruvian government passed legislation guaranteeing minimum speeds on fixed broadband and mobile. While it’s being implemented gradually, the plan is to ensure 70% of advertised speeds are attained by the end of next year. This may be a rule for operators to follow, but critics say it will force operators to invest more heavily in places where connectivity already exists, which may also likely see them downrate available speeds to make sure operators are able to comply.

Furthermore, while Peru has been an early adopter of 5G in South America, there are opportunities for growth and lower costs as technologies continue to improve and become cheaper to install. The Ministry of Transport and Communications plans to auction spectrum in AWS-3 & 2300 MHz bands later this year. The Ministry of Transport and Communications has also cleared the 3.5 GHz (C-band) for mobile broadband use. The auction for the C-band spectrum for 5G will likely take place in 2022.

The future of internet performance is bright in Peru and we’ll be watching closely to see and report on new developments. Learn more about Speedtest Intelligence or Cell Analytics here.

Espacio para el crecimiento en los mercados de banda ancha fija y móvil de Perú, pero una mayor adaptación de 5G hará que las actualizaciones sean más asequibles

A principios de este año, el Gobierno peruano aprobó una legislación que garantiza velocidades mínimas en banda ancha fija y móvil. Mientras está siendo implementada gradualmente, el plan es garantizar que se alcance el 70% de las velocidades anunciadas para fines del próximo año. Esta puede ser una regla que los operadores deben seguir, pero los críticos dicen que obligará a los operadores a invertir más en lugares donde ya existe conectividad, lo que probablemente también los verá reducir las velocidades disponibles para asegurarse de que los operadores puedan cumplir.

Además, si bien Perú ha sido uno de los primeros en adoptar 5G en América del Sur, existen oportunidades de crecimiento y menores costos a medida que las tecnologías continúan mejorando y se vuelven más baratas de instalar. El Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones planea subastar espectro en las bandas AWS-3 y 2300 MHz a finales de este año. El Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones también ha autorizado los 3.5 GHz (banda C) para el uso de banda ancha móvil. La subasta del espectro de banda C para 5G probablemente se llevará a cabo en 2022.

El futuro del desempeño del Internet es brillante en El Perú y estaremos observando de cerca para ver e informar sobre los nuevos desarrollos. Obtenga más información sobre Speedtest Intelligence o Cell Analytics aquí.

Ookla Video Analytics Reveals the State of Global Video Experience

Video is essential to today’s internet across the world. We use it to watch shows and movies, stream live events and even keep up to date on our favorite cats on social media. Ookla® launched video testing in the Speedtest® app for iOS and Android earlier this year so consumers can measure the quality of their video experience. Already, millions of video tests have been initiated by consumers. Today we’re sharing some of that data to provide insight into video experience around the world, specifically, we’ve analyzed adaptive start time and highest overall video resolution over all mobile technologies, 5G and fixed broadband in select countries during Q3 2021.

Switzerland had the fastest adaptive start time for all mobile technologies, South Africa fastest for 5G

Video streaming services use adaptive bitrate technology

All modern video streaming platforms use adaptive bitrate technology to automatically adjust video quality based on network conditions and device capabilities in order to display the highest quality video that a device can support, while minimizing buffering and slow video start time. Speedtest Video Analytics provides deep insights and competitive benchmarking for device and network video streaming capabilities.

Adaptive start time — the time it takes for adaptive bitrate playback to initiate — allows us to see how quickly videos are loading. A 2012 study found that users will leave a video if it doesn’t begin playing within two seconds. We have to imagine in 2021, that timeframe is being squeezed even further. Our analysis shows how countries are performing against this important benchmark.

ookla_adaptive-start-time_all-mobile-tech_1121-01-3

Speedtest Intelligence® reveals that Switzerland had the fastest median adaptive start time for all mobile technologies combined among the countries we analyzed at 1.02 seconds during Q3 2021. South Korea and Norway were close behind at 1.07 seconds and 1.10 seconds, respectively. Five more countries achieved a median adaptive start time at or under 1.25 seconds during Q3 2021, including Hong Kong (SAR) and Croatia (1.17 seconds), Portugal (1.24 seconds), and Kuwait and Mexico (1.25 seconds). All but three of the remaining countries we surveyed achieved a median adaptive start time between 1.25 seconds and 2.00 seconds during Q3 2021 except Colombia (2.11 seconds), Saudi Arabia (2.12 seconds) and India (2.13 seconds).

Most 5G-capable video tests showed blazing fast adaptive start times

ookla_adaptive-start-time_5g_1121-01

We’ve seen median 5G download speeds zoom ahead of traditional mobile technologies, even reaching median download speeds 10 times faster than on 4G LTE. It’s no surprise Video Analytics revealed adaptive start time was often much faster on 5G than on all mobile technologies combined. Five countries achieved median adaptive start times faster than 1.00 second during Q3 2021: South Africa (0.73 seconds), Switzerland (0.79 seconds), Norway (0.82 seconds), Hong Kong (0.86 seconds) and South Korea (0.90 seconds). Video Analytics shows the only countries with a median 5G adaptive start time slower than 1.25 seconds were the United States (1.27 seconds), Brazil (1.42 seconds) and Saudi Arabia (1.94 seconds).

Five countries’ adaptive start time improved more than 0.25 seconds on 5G compared to all technologies combined during Q3 2021: the Philippines (-0.62 seconds), South Africa (-0.53 seconds), Brazil (-0.39 seconds), Hong Kong (-0.31 seconds) and Norway (-0.29 seconds). However, several countries showed a less than 0.20 second improvement when comparing adaptive start rate on 5G to that on all technologies combined during Q3 2021: the U.S. (-0.14 seconds), Bahrain (-0.16 seconds), South Korea and Saudi Arabia (-0.17 seconds), and the United Kingdom (U.K.) and France (-0.18 seconds).

Adaptive start time is not always faster on fixed broadband

ookla_adaptive-start-time_fixed_1121-01-1

Speedtest Intelligence showed a narrower range for adaptive start time on fixed broadband than on 5G with every country on our list achieving between 0.67 and 1.85 seconds during Q3 2021. Ten countries on our list achieved a median adaptive start time faster than 1.00 second during Q3 2021: South Korea (0.67 seconds), Norway (0.74 seconds), Hong Kong (0.75 seconds), Switzerland (0.76 seconds), the U.K. (0.79 seconds), France (0.86 seconds), the U.S. (0.87 seconds), Spain (0.88 seconds), Portugal (0.89 seconds) and Italy (0.98 seconds).

Twenty out of the 24 countries we surveyed had a median fixed broadband adaptive start time faster than 1.50 seconds during Q3 2021. Colombia (1.50 seconds), Egypt (1.59 seconds), Turkey (1.64 seconds) and Saudi Arabia (1.85 seconds) were the only countries with a median adaptive start time slower than 1.50 seconds on fixed broadband during Q3 2021.

South Korea video tests reached 4K resolutions at the highest proportion on mobile and fixed broadband

Video resolution is incredibly important in the experience of streaming video and the higher the resolution, the more definition and clarity we are able to see. These days, the difference between an SD and 4K experience is gigantic. Resolution is measured in the numbers of pixels in a 16:9 ratio, with 2160 pixel height representing a 4K picture. Video Analytics measures the resolution rates, which represent the portion of samples that reach a particular resolution. In this analysis, we evaluated the resolution rates for 4K, typically the highest resolution users will need.

ookla_highest-video-resolution_all-mobile-tech_1121-01

Using Speedtest Intelligence, we found South Korea and Switzerland had the highest overall successful resolution rates for all mobile technologies combined during Q3 2021, reaching 4K resolutions 80.4% and 80.3% of the time, respectively. Croatia (79.7%), Kuwait (77.4%) and Norway (75.4%) were the only other countries on our list that achieved 4K video resolution more than 75.0% of the time. Only seven countries on our list did not reach a 4K resolution at least 50% of the time on all mobile technologies combined: the Philippines (38.4%), India (41.1%), Indonesia (44.8%), Colombia (45.3%), Mexico (46.3%), Russia (49.7%) and Egypt (49.9%).

5G led to higher video resolution, but 4K mobile devices still remain rare

ookla_highest-video-resolution_5g_1121-01

5G provided a higher resolution for mobile devices during Q3 2021 than all technologies combined. Every country we surveyed reached a 4K resolution over 80.0% of the time over 5G. In fact, six out of the 14 countries we surveyed for 5G achieved a 4K resolution more than 90.0% of the time, including South Korea (95.9%), Norway (94.5%), Kuwait (94.0%), South Africa (93.6%), Switzerland (92.6%) and France (91.5%). On the lower end of our list, only Italy (81.9%), Brazil (83.9%) and the U.S. (83.9%) achieved 4K resolutions less than 85.0% of the time.

While this is great news for the future of mobile devices, 4K resolutions in mobile devices still aren’t common: Sony is the only popular device manufacturer producing 4K mobile devices. In the meantime, users who can connect to 5G through either a hot spot or fixed wireless access (FWA) will reap the benefits of being able to stream on 4K devices like computers, televisions or tablets.

South Korean fixed broadband delivers ultra-high definition resolutions

ookla_highest-video-resolution_fixed_1121-01

Speedtest Intelligence reveals South Korea had the highest fixed broadband 4K resolution rate among countries surveyed at 92.2% during Q3 2021. Other countries that achieved 4K resolution rates above 85.0% on fixed broadband during Q3 2021 included: Switzerland (89.4%), Hong Kong (87.6%), Norway (87.1%) and the U.S. (86.7%). Every other country in our analysis achieved 4K resolution rates between 65.0% and 85.0%, except Egypt (49.5%), Indonesia (52.5%), the Philippines (64.2%) and Turkey (64.3%).

Video Analytics gives you the information you need about your video playback
