What's in Each Column
- Mobile DL / Fixed DL (Mbps). Median download speed from Ookla Speedtest Global Index, 2025-10 snapshot.
- Mobile rank / Fixed rank. Country's global rank (1 = fastest). Fixed ranks below Top-100 are shown as
>100rather than estimated. - 5G. Commercial 5G service availability per GSMA's State of 5G 2026.
Limitedmeans service has launched but remains geographically restricted (e.g. pilot cities only). - Primary carrier. Top mobile network operator by subscriber share (GSMA Intelligence / TeleGeography 2025).
- Nomad visa. Does the country offer a digital-nomad visa as of early 2026 (FreakingNomads tracker cross-referenced with Global Citizen Solutions).
What's N/A and Why
The downloadable CSV includes three columns currently marked
N/A for every row. We chose to publish the dataset
with honest gaps rather than fabricated numbers:
- Mobile + fixed upload speeds. Ookla's Global Index
page exposes download medians prominently; upload columns require
Ookla's full S3 export (
registry.opendata.aws/speedtest-global-performance) and per-country aggregation. On our backlog. - Cable.co.uk rank. The Cable.co.uk 2024 Worldwide Broadband Speed League (229 countries) is the strongest cross-reference for our Ookla numbers, but the ranking table is rendered client-side and we could not extract authoritative per-country ranks during this snapshot. Only the UK's rank (35 of 229) is publicly quoted in press coverage.
