Bermuda ranks second in the region for broadband consistency<\/p>\n
Bermuda ranks second in the Caribbean for broadband consistency, delivering speeds of at least 25 megabits download and 3 Mbps upload to 86.1 per cent of users in Q2 2025, according to the latest data from Ookla\u2019s Speedtest Intelligence, the global testing authority.<\/p>\n
The island trailed only Trinidad and Tobago (86.3 per cent) and edged out Puerto Rico (85.5 per cent) in the regional consistency rankings, a key metric used by analysts to evaluate the reliability of broadband infrastructure. That means the vast majority of users in Bermuda are experiencing dependable internet performance.<\/p>\n
Bermuda also made strong gains in median download speed over the past 18 months, improving from 85.88 Mbps in Q1 2024 to 133.69 Mbps in Q2 2025 \u2014 a 56 per cent increase. That places it among the top 10 fastest territories in the region, joining Guadeloupe, Martinique and the British Virgin Islands in the over-100 Mbps club.<\/p>\n
Across the Caribbean, fibre-optic roll-out continues to drive widespread improvement. The number of countries posting median download speeds over 100 Mbps more than doubled year-over-year, from four to 10. On average, regional download speeds rose 25 per cent.<\/p>\n
Still, large disparities remain. Guadeloupe leads the region by a wide margin with a median download speed of 246.32 Mbps, while Cuba lags far behind with a consistency score of just 5.4 per cent.<\/p>\n
