Telecom operators in Morocco each have their own areas of expertise—and that’s clearer than ever in the latest connectivity report from Ookla, the global benchmark for internet performance. Drawing on millions of real-user tests conducted via Speedtest between July and December 2024, the report offers a detailed snapshot of the country’s digital landscape, evaluating both mobile and fixed internet services. What emerges is a competitive market where Maroc Telecom, inwi, and Orange each shine in different ways, as Moroccan consumers grow more demanding and usage patterns become increasingly diverse.
In the mobile sector, Maroc Telecom leads overall with strong results in key performance indicators. It boasts a median download speed of 53.72 Mbps and a low latency of just 43 milliseconds—metrics that translate into smooth, responsive browsing. It also stands out for network reliability, with over 89% of connections surpassing quality thresholds set by Speedtest.
Inwi, while second in mobile download speeds at 41.24 Mbps, outpaces the competition when it comes to mobile gaming. With a Game Score of 78.67—the highest in the market—its network is favored by gamers who prioritize low latency and consistent performance.
Orange, on the other hand, has carved out its strength in mobile video streaming. Its network delivers a seamless viewing experience, appealing to the growing number of users who stream video on the go.
On a regional level, Oujda ranks as the top-performing city for mobile connectivity, followed by Fès and Agadir. However, cities like Salé, Tangier, and Meknès still have ground to cover. Notably, Maroc Telecom leads in eight of Morocco’s most populous urban areas, though competition remains intense across the board.
Switching to fixed internet, Maroc Telecom again holds the top spot with a Speed Score of 49.51. Its median download speed of 49.59 Mbps and low latency of 27 milliseconds make for a solid experience, particularly for video conferencing and high-demand tasks.
Orange distinguishes itself in fixed-line streaming performance, scoring 68.64—just ahead of its rivals. This edge suggests targeted investments in optimizing multimedia delivery.
Meanwhile, inwi continues to expand its fixed-line footprint, focusing on affordability and improving customer experience. While it hasn’t overtaken its competitors yet, the operator shows steady progress.
Among Moroccan cities, Salé leads in fixed internet performance, with Rabat and Casablanca close behind. Meknès, Oujda, and Fès are currently lagging, though the performance gap is narrowing over time.
Beyond raw speed and latency, user satisfaction tells another important part of the story. Maroc Telecom received the highest rating for mobile services, scoring 3.84 out of 5 based on user reviews submitted through Speedtest. For fixed internet, Orange leads with a satisfaction score of 3.55, indicating that perceived quality continues to shape consumer loyalty as much as technical performance.
