I have been in the impression that the internet service that I have been using is one of the best till today and thought that America is the leader in the internet service providers. But not anymore. The latest research by an independent agency provided some shocking results where-in the ranking of US of A is abysmal according to me.
The report given out by the CWA (Communications Workers of America) has ranked South Korea as the no. 1 in internet connection speeds with an average download speed of 20.4 MB/s which is 4 times faster than the average internet download speed in US of A, which is 5.1 MB/s. Here goes the list of the countries with highest average internet download speeds::
* South Korea - 20.4 MBPS * Japan - 15.8 MBPS * Sweden - 12.8 MBPS * Netherlands - 11 MBPS
The report also says that,"People in Japan can upload a high-def video in 12 minutes, compared to a grueling 2.5 hours at the US average upload speed." This is harsh reality. And you have been paying in US $ all this while. The United States was ranked at 20th position in broadband penetration as well.
