We know how many of us are struggling to find the perfect Internet connection with a good speed. Well, it’s altogether a different story in many countries where the internet is blazing fast on a normal speed as well. Here is the list of countries with the fastest internet connections based on Akamai’s State Of The Internet report, though you might find it unbelievable that some countries are missing.

1. Hong Kong – 65.1Mbps
Maintaining its position as the country with the fastest internet,

Hong Kong is still the no. 1 on the list with peak speed of 65.1Mbps. Although this is 0.9 per cent fall
as compared to past quarter, but it is a 32 per cent growth as compared to last year.

2. South Korea – 53.5Mbps
South Korea gains two spots to secure the No. 2 spot this time with its peak internet speed of 53.3Mbps. The speed shows a
growth of 19 per cent over the past quarter and 14 per cent over last year.

3. Japan – 48.8Mbps
Loosing one place Japan now sits on third position with highest speed of 48.8Mbps.
This is an increase of 3.1 per cent compared to the previous quarter and 21 percent compared to last year.

4. Romania – 47.5Mbps
On No. 4 is Romania with 47.5Mbps highest speed. This is a 0.6 per cent growth over the
previous quarter and a 23 per cent growth over 2012.

5. Singapore – 45.6Mbps
On fifth spot rests Singapore, with maximum speed of 45.6Mbps. This is a brilliant growth of 61 per cent over last year and 4.1 percent over last quarter.

6. Latvia – 44.6Mbps
Rolling down one place Latvia stands on No. 6 with its peak internet speed of 44.6Mbps.
This is an increase of 5.4 per cent since the last quarter and 33 per cent from last year.

7. Switzerland – 41.4Mbps
Switzerland holds the seventh spot on the list with its top speed of 41.4Mbps. This translates into a rise of 3.9 per cent in past quarter and 38 per cent over the past year.

8. Israel – 40.1. Mbps
Yes we are not kidding, despite the country was not there in the top 10 last quarter, Israel this time secured the eight spot with
its top speed touching 40.1Mbps. This is a 53 per cent growth over last year and 6.4 per
cent compared to the preceding quarter.

Unbelievable isn’t it

u.s no de d list?

What can Nigeria boast of aside corruption?

After all our 'satellites' that is being shot daily, on an average it's 512kbps.

enigmagu1: u.s no de d list?

Funny/weird isn't it

Nomski0: Asia dominating the list. And no single western country.

what about Romania and Switzerland?

Aren't they Occidents?

Not surprised!

Because US is not what you think it is

speedyboi: Not surprised!


Because US is not what you think it is

After the internet got shut down in Egypt during the Arab spring. A systems analyst in USA was asked if the internet can be shut down in the United States...his response was the United States cannot get disconnected from the internet cos USA is the internet. Rather the world getting cut off from the internet.

The USA doesn't need to be on that list.

k

US has the highest number of internet user but it doesnt have a very fast speed because the price of speed internet is expensive.(forbes)

Seriously, u r being too generous there! Its more like 50kbps on average for nigeria!! I am in cameroon now as I type and there is no trace of 3G on the GSM networks hereb its just the govt owned CDMA dat has EVDO! Imagine paying 10000frs (like N3500) for 500MB for a month on MTN Cameroon! #ripoffs

And I'm here, happy with my 300+kbps

adonbilivit..are those wack airtel staffs seeing this,imagine airtel peaking 27KB/s on 3.75G at night

I haven't even seen 1mb/s in Nigeria before ... even if you go to the bottom of the mast

NeKlaus: adonbilivit..are those wack airtel staffs seeing this,imagine airtel peaking 27KB/s on 3.75G at night

Airtel is madly poor.. that's what i use

But lets imagine using 50mbs in Nigeria with this our expensive data plans.. we go just begin find app wey go help slow am down

Yeah; we are improving. But there is still much to be done. NCC should force these ISPs to work more on their QoS rather than just expanding.

it is a lie, south Korea is in number 1.
