Internet in Malta: everything you need to know
Malta has roughly 92% internet penetration and 4G/5G mobile coverage exceeding 99% of the population (source: ITU DataHub, 2024). Three carriers share the market: GO (incumbent, ~40%), Epic (formerly Vodafone Malta, ~30%) and Melita (~30%). Commercial 5G covers the entire archipelago since late 2022.
- ●Excellent 4G/5G across the entire main island (Valletta, Sliema, St Julian's, Mdina, Mosta, Rabat, Marsaxlokk, Birgu, Cospicua, Senglea, Birżebbuġa) as well as Gozo (Victoria/Rabat, Mġarr, Marsalforn, Xagħra, Xlendi, Dwejra) and Comino (Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon). The archipelago is just 27 km north to south : no meaningful coverage gaps.
- ●Average mobile speed ~100–180 Mbps download in Valletta per Ookla (Q1 2025), peaking 600+ Mbps on 5G in St Julian's.
- ●Malta has been in the EU and Schengen since 2004/2007 : free "Roam Like at Home" roaming for all European subscribers. An eSIM is only useful for non-EU travellers (US, UK, Switzerland not included, Canada, Australia) or to preserve your home plan data.
- ●Great for Bolt and eCabs (taxis and e-scooters), Tallinja (transit, app + card), Google Maps, MaltaPark (road map), Booking, Wolt, Holiday Malta, ARMS (water/electricity info). For Gozo ferries (Cirkewwa-Mġarr) and Comino : online booking reliable.
