his article examines speed "real" Internet connection in the top 50 countries, Ie the countries with most Internet users. In the list is China's number 1 with 420 million Internet users And Denmark at number 50 with 4.75 million Internet users. In addition, We have included this classification in parentheses next to each country in the charts below. Together, these 50 countries have more than 1.8 billion Internet users.
Some observations:
* South Korea as is well known, is a kind of "speed king" of the Internet, which made it very clear the previous graph. With average connection speeds of nearly 17 Mbit / s, easily surpasses the competition.
* China, but is the country with more Internet users, is still in the rear when it comes to Internet connection speeds. His average of 0.86 Mbit / s is well below the world average of 1.8 Mbit / s.
* Speaking of China, Hong KongTechnically a part of China, but separate in most surveys for statistical purposes, is clearly far ahead of their "mother country." With average connection speeds of 8.6 Mbit / s, Hong Kong is second only to South Korea.
* It is also interesting that the top three are in Asia.
* Of the top 10 on this "list of speed," three are from Asia, seven in Europe.
* Canada is just over the U.S.With 4.7 Mbit / s compared to 4.6 Mbit / s, respectively.
Global average Internet speed
The average connection speed for Internet users worldwide, not only among these 50 countries, but all countries is 1.8 Mbit / s.
On average, this is really good, but as we have seen, there are a lot of extremes in either direction.
In the last graph connection types slower (less than 256 kbit / s) have been almost completely eradicated in many countries.
However, in many developing countries, these remain an important part of the connections.
