Internet Speed and Latency Data for Brazilian Municipalities and Regions

Historical series of average download speeds across Brazilian municipalities and regions. The data is collected by the Speedtest application as part of Ookla’s Open Data Initiative and combined with municipal boundary data from IBGE. It is weighted by device count and detailed by regionalizations and quarters.

Use Cases

• Analyze connectivity conditions across Brazilian municipalities based on average download speeds.
• Study the historical evolution of internet infrastructure in Brazil based on quarterly time-series data.
• Map digital divide and regional disparities based on geolocated speed and latency metrics.
• Model internet service quality trends using data weighted by the number of devices.

Strengths

• Data is weighted by the number of devices, which may improve representativeness.
• Combines performance measurements from Ookla's Speedtest with official IBGE municipal boundaries.
• Provides quarterly temporal granularity for tracking changes over time.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
