Roane, TN Internet Speeds — Measured 2024
Real speed tests run in Roane County, Tennessee during 2024 recorded a median download of 67.6 Mbps, upload of 11.5 Mbps and latency of 39.6 ms, across 2,512 measurements. That is 0.8× the US median and places it #1,676 of 2,425 US counties.
What these numbers mean here
The median is the typical connection, not the best one available. Half the tests in Roane came in below 67.6 Mbps and half above. The slower quarter of connections measured under 25.8 Mbps, while the faster quarter exceeded 189.1 Mbps — a spread that usually reflects a mix of fibre, cable and older DSL lines in the same area rather than one uniform service level.
At 67.6 Mbps down and 11.5 Mbps up, a typical household here can handle HD streaming and video calls, though simultaneous heavy use may compete for bandwidth. Latency of 39.6 ms is acceptable for most real-time use.
