Hong Kong Now Takes Internet Speed Title. by ps5(m): 5:12pm On Jan 25, 2013
Hong Kong was found to have the highest average peak link speed of just more than 54 megabits per second through the third quarter of 2012, in line with analysis by Akamai Engineering.

It's the first period speeds have shot prior 50 Mbps and, when the global trend continues, it's just gonna get faster. While there is a slight drop in pace in the quarter, over the 12 months average peak speeds surged 36%.
From the peak speed stakes, Hong Kong is accompanied by South Korea (48. 8 Mbps), Asia (42. 2 Mbps), Latvia (37. 5 Mbps) as well as Romania (37. 4 Mbps).

The us straggled in in fourteenth place with 29. 6 Mbps. U. S. state while using fastest connection is still Delaware which has a swift 10. 9 Mbps, even though the District of Columbia is actually catching up.

For the actual fastest average connection rates of speed in Europe, head over to Switzerland (8. 7 Mbps), which just beats the netherlands (8. 5 Mbps) for you to second, while the Czech Republic (7. 7 Mbps) is in third.
The place Not to ever be for speedy downloads available is China. Despite a 21% hop in connection speed through the quarter, the country's average peak connection reached merely 7. 1 Mbps. So that it is the slowest in Asia and gives it a lowly global rank of 123.

For consistency, South Korea was the best place to log on, boasting the best average connection speed involving 14. 2 Mbps. Asia came second at 10. 7 Mbps and Hong Kong third which has a surprisingly sluggish 8. 9 Mbps.

Their state of the Internet Report also revealed the superior sources of Internet problems, as well as the most prevalent targets.
Once again, China was found to get the single largest way to obtain attack traffic -- 33% -- through the quarter. Attacks from the nation doubled during the time, a statistic the report identified as "somewhat surprising. "

The us and Russia came next within the top three. In many, the top 10 countries were liable for almost three quarters involving global attacks.

Akamai releases its report every 1 fourth, based on information obtained from 680 million unique IP addresses linked to its cloud platform.
