Here is the complete list of global rankings for India’s 5G speed in 2023, with India securing the 10th position.

India launched 5G networks in October 2022, but just one year after the official launch, the country’s 5G speeds have risen to the top ten in the world. According to details shared by Ookla in its report this month, India will be one of the 5G countries in 2023, which shows the huge impact of network deployment and how quickly operators have been able to respond to network needs. consumers in the country.

While countries like the UAE and South Korea lead the 5G median speed charts with speeds of 592.01 Mbps and 507.59 Mbps, India’s progress to 312.26 Mbps has pushed it into the top ten. “Following the 5G spectrum auction in India, operators have successfully resolved network congestion issues by migrating 4G traffic to 5G networks,” Ookla highlights in its report here.

The most interesting fact mentioned in the report is that Asian and Pacific countries have been more successful than European countries in terms of their 5G performance.

So it’s no surprise that six of the top 10 countries with fast 5G median speeds are from the region. As you can see in the chart below, India is not even mentioned in the Q3 2022 data, as the country had just announced plans for 5G services.

However, move to the third quarter of 2023 and you will see India replacing Macau on the list and rounding out the top 10 countries with the best 5G data speeds.

The fact that India has registered median 5G speeds of over 300Mbps digs well, but it goes without saying that telcos aren’t charging for their 5G networks yet, and when they do, things could change dramatically as more people upgrade to 5G phones . As prices become public, people are likely to look at the speeds offered by operators, which will really test the credentials of 5G networks and whether they can handle higher user density and still maintain those data speeds.
