The independent French company nPerf has examined the home internet offerings from Vodafone and "Kyivstar" in 2025, concluding that Vodafone provides better services to Ukrainians.
Unlike previous years, when more Ukrainian internet providers were compared, this year the study focused solely on Vodafone and "Kyivstar", with the latter falling short in nearly all metrics.
According to the study, Vodafone boasts a higher average download speed of 200.48 Mbps compared to 109.04 Mbps for "Kyivstar". Upload speeds are also superior at 196.4 Mbps versus 127.8 Mbps.
Additionally, Vodafone shows better webpage loading speeds and more stable video streaming, although in latency tests, "Kyivstar" has the advantage with 18.32 ms compared to 22.40 ms for its competitor.
Despite Vodafone's superior performance in almost all tests, the home internet service from "Kyivstar" remains more popular. According to nPerf, user distribution between providers stands at 66% for "Kyivstar" and 34% for Vodafone.
Furthermore, nPerf did not clarify why only two providers were included in this year's report. For comparison, in 2024, the leader in the home internet market was Vega, while in previous years, Lanet held the top spot.
It's also worth noting that at the beginning of last year, nPerf recognized Vodafone as the best mobile operator in Ukraine for 2024. The upcoming research to determine the winner for 2025 will be published in a few weeks.
