Internet
Median 41.5 Mbps, mean 47.5. Middle half 28.8–61. Full range 10–94.
12 listings with a measured speed
0 of the 12 measured listings (0%) clear 100 Mbps. 8 do not clear 50 Mbps, which is where a video call starts to break: the reason we print the measured figure on every card instead of a city average.
Full distribution of the 12 readings
12 listings with a measured speed, of 24 tracked
n=12 of 24 tracked listings · 50% coverage. The other 12 are unmeasured, which is not the same as slow.
#119 of 125 cities we track, ranked on median speed
Tórshavn ranks #119 of 125 (the 5th percentile). Ranked on the median, not the mean, so one fast outlier cannot move it.
No speed here has been independently measured.
All 12 speeds come from what the host states and what guests report. Treat them as a good guide to what to expect in Tórshavn, not as a test result.

Guest reviews, never edited and never paraphrased. We hold no reviewer names, so a quote is attributed to a place and a date rather than to a person.
Cost
Prices are the listing's own monthly rate, across the 24 tracked listings that publish one, before the host's own discount.
middle half $2,551 to $3,858 · median $3,634 · 24 listings with a published monthly rate
The box is the middle half, $2,551 to $3,858 a month, across 24 listings.
Worth knowing Among the hosts who do discount, half take 28% or more off the nightly rate. The largest cut across the 24 listings we track is 50%. That is the going rate here, whichever side of the booking you are on.
The discount is the host's, not ours, and it applies from 28 nights. The rates beside it are the listing's own monthly rate before that discount is taken off.
We can say nothing about the other 22 listings. Only 0 of the 2,210 reviews we have read (0.0%) mention a desk or workspace at all. This is the thinnest seam on the page: it is here because it is measured, not because it is important.

We keep a curated set of 24 stays in Tórshavn and re-check them over time, rather than repeating whatever a booking site happens to show today. Connection speeds are what each place and its guests report, none of them independently measured, so read them as indicative rather than lab-tested. 12 of the 24 carry no reading at all, and unmeasured is not the same as slow. Prices are the advertised monthly rate, before any discount a host offers. Reviews are counted rather than summarised, and quotes appear word for word, attributed to a stay and a date rather than to a person. Every figure here was computed on 7 September 2026.
