The most stable Internet connection in Luxembourg

The importance of Internet latency

The speed of downloading or uploading files is not everything: to get the most out of your Internet offer, you also need a stable, responsive and robust connection. This is why SpeedTest also compares the latency of operators.

Latency (expressed in milliseconds) is the time it takes for information to get from the server to your computer, mobile phone or television, and back again.

The lower the latency, the more responsive the network is, and therefore the more stable your connection will be. This is therefore an important parameter to take into account when choosing a provider.

Latency: the ranking of Internet service providers

Here is the ranking of the best operators in the country, according to latency of their Internet network (still according to SpeedTest measurements in June 2022):

1. Visual OnlineLuxembourg Online and Tango both topped the rankings, with a 5 ms latency
2. POST comes in second place, with 6 ms
3. Eltrona comes last in the ranking, with 10 ms latency. This is almost twice the latency of Luxembourg Online and Tango.

While Eltrona has the best download speed, the provider seems to have the worst latency in Luxembourg, according to the study's measurements. This means that you will have very good speeds, but a less stable connection than with other providers.

The best thing to do is to choose a compromise between speed and latency: Tango or Luxembourg Online may be very good choices for your next Internet subscription, according to this SpeedTest study.
