The Q4 2017 MyBroadband Speed Test app results show that Midstream Estate, Cornwall Hill Country Estate, and Country Lane Estate have the highest broadband speeds in South Africa.<\/p>\n

To calculate the average speed in an area, results from speed tests performed by MyBroadband Speed Test app users were compiled.<\/p>\n

MyBroadband\u2019s Speed Test app for Android and iOS gives smartphone users the ability to test their Wi-Fi and mobile data connections.<\/p>\n

In Q4 2017, over 200,000 Wi-Fi tests were performed by iOS and Android users.<\/p>\n

The average download speed over Wi-Fi in South Africa was 11.59Mbps, while the average upload speed was 6.99Mbps.<\/p>\n

These speeds are closely linked to the average broadband speeds in the country, as most Wi-Fi connections are linked to a fixed broadband connection.<\/p>\n

Highest speeds<\/h3>\n

The results show that Midstream Estate was the suburb with the highest average download speed, at 42.57Mbps.<\/p>\n

Cornwall Hill Country Estate and Country Lane Estate were second on 36.42Mbps, and Durbanville and Bellville third on 34.70Mbps.<\/p>\n

The table below shows the suburb results. Only suburbs where a large number of tests from multiple devices were performed are listed.<\/p>\n
