AMMAN — Jordan has made notable progress in the global rankings for mobile download speeds, moving up three positions to 84th place worldwide with an average speed of 29.4 Mbps. Additionally, the Kingdom has advanced two spots in fixed internet rankings, now sitting at 31st place internationally with an average download speed of 155 Mbps, according to data released by Ookla, a reputable source for tracking trends in broadband and mobile internet speeds globally.
The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) stated in a press release to The Jordan Times that this progress can be attributed to Jordan’s strong regulatory framework, which fosters competition and investment. The TRC emphasized that public-private partnerships are crucial for advancing the Economic Modernisation Vision.
The TRC also mentioned that Jordan’s ranking is expected to improve further as fibre internet subscriptions increase steadily, driven by the rollout of 5G services and the issuance of necessary licenses to telecommunications providers.
Bayan Khaled, a computer and automation engineer, commented that “the improvement reflects enhanced regulatory frameworks and increased investments in fibre infrastructure.” He added that such developments could attract additional investments in the local digital market, but maintaining this momentum will require focused cooperation and sustained efforts.
Razan Hourani, a telecommunications specialist, noted that the planned expansion of 5G services across the country indicates promising advancements in connectivity. “We are witnessing a surge in tech-focused investments in Jordan, which lays a strong foundation for digital innovation,” she stated.
