telecompetitor, Friday, June 13th, 2025
Wi-Fi 7 has been available for more than a year and many fixed-wire internet providers are offering compatible routers, but adoption is less than 2% in the United States, according to a new report from Ookla.
The study relied on Speedtest user data from the first quarter of 2025. In addition to tracking Wi-Fi standards, it compared upload speeds, download speeds, and latency for a list of top fixed internet providers.
Frontier Fiber had the fastest average Wi-Fi 7 download speeds of those covered in the report, clocking in at more than a gigabit (1,010.81 Mbps). That was almost 400 Mbps faster than its average speeds on Wi-Fi 6E and more than 600 Mbps faster than its Wi-Fi 6 speeds.
