Our analysis
TurkNet leaves no chance to its competitors, by wining comfortably all indicators.
The performances’ gap with its opponents has skyrocketed in 2021.
In 2021, the average download speed in Turkey was 38 Mb/s.
TurkNet has provided the best fixed download speed (45 Mb/s) during 2021.
Globally, all ISPs provided stable download speeds during the period. TurkNet has clearly accelerated its improvement in the second semester, and shows the best year-to-year progression too, by +19Mb/s, that is to say +71% comparing to 2020. Indeed, the average distance to the next ranked competitor, Turkcell Superonline, is now four times larger than in 2020 (+13 Mb/s).
Turkcell Superonline finishes in second position and eventually relinquishes its leadership on the upload speed to TurkNet (15 Mb/s), which records a spectacular growth of +215% (+10 Mb/s), up to 14.88 Mb/s.
On the other hand, Türk Telekom has ended up third, by outranking Vodafone.
As a matter of fact, the average latency is much better in the Türk Telekom network, and that is enough to surpass its competitor, even if Vodafone shows better figures on the download and upload speed. But it is Turknet that has obtained the best latency (24 ms) during 2021.
Conclusion
On fixed networks, the last champion of our barometer, TurkNet, consolidates its domination. With a download speed of 45 Mb/s, a huge progress on the upload speed, and a good latency, TurkNet has kept his opponents away.
