- Even though Chile is the better one from Latin America on the ranking, it figures on the 27th place on the global list, with 108.17Mbps;
- On the mobile speed list, Chile comes on 107th place.
SpeedTest‘s ranking of internet speed with data from June 2020 reports that Chile is the country in Latin America that has a better fixed broadband connection. Still, Chile appears on the 27th place on the global list, with 108.17 Mbps, up 2 places since the previous month.
According to SpeedTest, besides download and upload speed, online gaming created a demand for lower-latency network connections. Since online gaming is on the rise in the region, SpeedTest Intelligence looked to online gaming performance in Latin America on the second-quarter of 2020 and found that latency varied greatly across both countries and cities in the five most robust economies in the region, providing some gamers an unexpected advantage in comparison to others with bad connection.
Latency is the reaction time of a connection, a key metric in gaming. For the best gaming experience, users should look for a latency of 59ms or less. Data from Latin America shows that Brazil had the lowest latency on fixed broadband in Q2 (19ms), and Argentina on mobile (34ms).

As for the broadband overall, the second Latin American country to figure on the ranking, Panama comes on the 38th place, with 90.90 Mbps. Brazil comes on the 54th place, with a 59.40 Mbps, followed by Trinidad and Tobago (56th, 57.43 Mbps) and Uruguay (61st, 52.99 Mbps).
The global list was led by Singapore with a speed of 208.16 Mbps and Hong Kong with 192.09 Mbps. The last country on the list was Venezuela on the 174th position with a 3.50 Mbps speed.
