The latest 5G report from Opensignal shows the top three mobile operators in Brazil in terms of 5G download speed and 5G upload speed between March 1, 2022 and May 29, 2022.
5G customers have experienced 5G download speed of 54.3 Mbps at TIM, 51.6 Mbps at Claro and 39.8 Mbps at Vivo.
5G customers have experienced 5G upload speed of 21.6 Mbps at TIM, 20.9 Mbps at Claro and 10.1 Mbps at Vivo.
Brazil conducted the spectrum auction in November 2021. Operators have started deploying 5G services in the newly acquired bands.
Claro, TIM and Vivo rolled out their 5G Standalone services in Brasilia beginning of July, using the 3.5 GHz band — and Belo Horizonte is expected to follow suit next, followed by Porto Alegre and Sao Paulo.
In April, TIM announced the launch of its 5G Standalone network in Curitiba, using the 2.3 GHz band. TIM rolled out its 5G services in the same band that Algar and Claro also use — as the operators can’t access the 3.5 GHz band across the country, due to potential interference with satellite stations.
Anatel has pushed back the deadline for launching the commercial 5G services to the end of August 2022.
With the 3.5 GHz band available to operators, the 5G experience is likely to improve significantly for mobile users in Brazil.
