However, in the semi-arid Nakasongola and the deserted Masindi, the network was low to the last bar. In the trading centres and closely touched housing, the network was between 4G and 3G+. Enroute to the North, through Luwero, Nakasongola, Masindi, and Karuma towns, there was a significant fluctuation in the speeds offered. We tested the speeds in Kampala, to make a comparison with those in other areas of the country. It is on this tour that we made a number of observations. Upon learning about Airtel Uganda’s 100% 4G countrywide coverage, we took a tour to test it through Northern Uganda and Eastern Uganda.
How fast is 4G in Uganda?Īccording to the Speedtest Global Index Report for January, Uganda has an average of 10.37 Mbps download speeds and 4.8 Mbps upload speeds for mobile internet users.
This implies that you can download a 1 GB sized item in less than 30 seconds or load a YouTube video in under 2 seconds.Īdditionally, your upload speeds should be about 8Mbps on average and 50Mbps in a typical 4G environment. On a 4G connection, your download speeds should ideally run between 20Mbps and 150Mbps in a perfect location. Airtel states that they currently have up to 1,632 sites and over 3,900 kilometers of fiber across Uganda covering close to 96% of the population.
