November is the time of year when we tend to stay at home more often and move a large part of our daily activities online. Short, cold days are conducive to remote work, online meetings, and catching up on TV series. It is precisely during this period that the quality of mobile internet quickly proves to be either a real convenience — or a serious source of frustration. That’s why we decided to check how Polish mobile operators performed in November 2025, based on thousands of real-world measurements conducted by users of the RFBENCHMARK application.

Mobile Internet in Poland – What Was the Situation in October 2025?

In October 2025, 5G measurement results showed noticeable differences in performance between operators. The highest average download and upload speeds were recorded on the T-Mobile network, while Orange ranked second in terms of data transfer rates. Play and Plus achieved lower values, which translated into further positions in the ranking. In the latency category, Orange recorded the lowest average ping. All networks — except Plus — remained within ranges considered very good from an end-user perspective.

In 4G LTE technology, the overall ranking structure remained similar. T-Mobile achieved the highest average download speed, followed by Orange and Play, with relatively small differences between them. Upload speed differences among the leading operators were even smaller, indicating a comparable level of LTE performance. Once again, Orange recorded the lowest latency, while Plus showed the highest ping values. Overall, the results confirmed the stability of the existing ranking in both 5G and 4G LTE.

5G Results

Average download speed: T-Mobile (411.9 Mb/s)

In November 2025, the highest average 5G download speed was recorded on the T-Mobile network, reaching 411.9 Mb/s. Orange ranked second with 354.5 Mb/s. The remaining operators achieved significantly lower values — Play 222.0 Mb/s, and Plus 120.0 Mb/s. This layout highlights the persistent performance gap between operators in terms of 5G network capabilities.

Average upload speed: T-Mobile (62.9 Mb/s)

In upload performance, T-Mobile also remained the leader with an average speed of 62.9 Mb/s. Orange followed closely at 58.9 Mb/s, while Play achieved 51.6 Mb/s. Plus once again closed the ranking with an average upload speed of 27.1 Mb/s. The order of operators in this category remains consistent with results observed in previous months.

Lowest ping: Orange (19.9 ms)

The lowest average 5G latency was recorded on the Orange network, with a ping of 19.9 ms. Play and T-Mobile achieved similar values — 22.9 ms and 23.7 ms respectively — while Plus recorded 27.2 ms. Differences between operators were not significant, and all networks offered latency levels typical of stable 5G connections.

4G LTE Results

Average download speed: T-Mobile (60.9 Mb/s)

In November, T-Mobile once again achieved the highest average download speed in 4G LTE, reaching 60.9 Mb/s. Orange followed with 44.4 Mb/s, then Play with 41.8 Mb/s, while Plus ranked last at 39.1 Mb/s. Differences between operators were noticeable, though smaller than those observed in 5G.

Average upload speed: Play (22.8 Mb/s)

In LTE upload measurements, Play achieved the highest result at 22.8 Mb/s. T-Mobile followed closely with 22.6 Mb/s, and Orange recorded 20.9 Mb/s. Plus once again achieved the lowest average upload speed at 17.4 Mb/s. Among the leading operators, differences were minimal, indicating a similar level of LTE performance.

Lowest ping: Orange (26.4 ms)

The lowest average LTE latency was recorded on the Orange network at 26.4 ms. Play followed with 29.2 ms, then T-Mobile with 30.4 ms, while Plus recorded the highest latency at 38.6 ms. Although differences among the leaders were small, Orange maintained its advantage in network responsiveness in LTE as well.

How Did We Collect the Data for the Ranking?

Measurements are collected from users using our mobile application. Thanks to it, we can measure the basic parameters of the mobile network – including signal strength and quality depending on the technology used by the mobile device, information about the mobile network operator, and the country where the smartphone is located. Additionally, on demand, Internet speed measurements during download and upload are performed, as well as a latency test.

When the application detects a poor-quality voice connection, lack of mobile Internet services, or another issue, it has the ability to report the user’s current location where the problem occurred.
