Those are interesting upload speeds for some of the cable companies during a year of upcoming giant BEAD grants since a large percentage of customers of the cable companies are clearly not achieving the 20 Mbps upload speeds that is being used by the grants to define an underserved customer. Missing from these numbers are smaller fiber-only ISPs that have much faster median speeds than all of these large companies. Median upload speeds were obviously faster for ISPs using fiber, with the fourth quarter median upload speeds showing AT&T Internet at 142.8 Mbps, Verizon at 104.9 Mbps, Altice at 29.8 Mbps, Comcast at 20.4 Mbps, Charter at 11.8 Mbps, and Cox at 10.7 Mbps.

Charter was at 225.3 Mbps, Cox at 212.3 Mbps, Altice at 190.8 Mbps, AT&T Internet at 187.1 Mbps, and Verizon at 183.2 Mbps. The fastest median download speeds for landline ISPs at the end of 2022 comes from Comcast at 226.1 Mbps. Ookla thinks that median speeds are the best way to track the overall market and the difference between carriers. As a reminder of statistics, the median means that half of all speed tests showed faster results and half slower results than those numbers. at the end of 2022 was 193.7 Mbps download, 22.6 Mbps upload, and 14 milliseconds of latency. The median download speeds for fixed broadband in the U.S. This report shows the median and mean upload speeds, download speeds, and latency for both mobile and fixed broadband by country. As a numbers guy, I’m always intrigued by the Ookla Speedtest Global Index since it provides an interesting look at broadband speeds in the U.S.
