According to a report by nPerf, the introduction of 5G in Tunisia has led to a decrease in median download speeds across all users. The overall median speed dropped by 20%, while 4G users experienced a more significant decline of 28%.
The report, which analyzed network performance data, indicates that the 5G rollout has not yet delivered the expected improvements. Instead, it has strained existing network resources, affecting 4G performance.
Telecom operators in Tunisia are in the early stages of 5G deployment, and the initial impact on user experience has been negative. The report suggests that network optimization and infrastructure upgrades are needed to realize the potential benefits of 5G.
As of August 2026, the situation remains a concern for consumers and businesses relying on mobile connectivity. The findings highlight the challenges of transitioning to new technology while maintaining service quality.
