Síminn vs Iceland Broadband Benchmarks

Use this comparison to separate provider performance from the wider market. A result below your plan speed may still be normal for your connection type, but a wired test far below both your plan and the country benchmark deserves troubleshooting.

Metric Síminn Iceland median Interpretation
Download 156 Mbps 215.3 Mbps Below the national median benchmark; plan mix or access technology may explain the gap.
Upload 94 Mbps 192.1 Mbps Upload trails the country median, which may affect calls, backups, and creator workflows.
Ping 8 ms 5 ms Latency is higher than the country median; test over Ethernet before blaming the ISP.

How to Run a Síminn Speed Test
