Rabat — Morocco ranked 96th out of 152 countries in fixed broadband internet speed, according to the latest Speedtest Global Index published by Ookla.
The report, which analyzed data from April to June 2025, shows that Morocco recorded an average download speed of 61.43 Mbps on fixed connections such as ADSL and fiber.
In contrast, the global average speed for fixed broadband during the same period reached 103 Mbps, featuring a significant performance gap between Morocco and leading digital nations.
Countries like Singapore, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates continue to dominate the global rankings, with average speeds well above 200 Mbps.
The report tracks internet performance across the world and provides a quarterly update based on millions of user-initiated tests.
Although Morocco has made modest improvements in recent years, the country still faces challenges in extending high-speed internet access to all regions, particularly rural and semi-urban areas.
Digital experts stress the need for stronger investment in infrastructure and regulatory reforms to improve performance and affordability.
The findings come amid ongoing public concerns over service quality and internet pricing in Morocco, as users increasingly rely on digital platforms for education, work, and entertainment.
Morocco has in recent years launched several initiatives to bolster its internet infrastructure, aiming to enhance connectivity and bridge the digital divide.
The North African country has designed a rollout of 5G mobile technology scheduled for November this year, just before the start of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Through this initiative, Morocco is set to provide 5G access to 25% of its population by the end of 2025, with goal to expand it to 70% by 2030.
The digital shift accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic further signaled the need for reliable internet, as remote work, online education, and e-services became more prevalent in Moroccan society.
