Well, Akamai Technologies, a
Massachusetts based internet provider, usually does a study on how the internet
speeds measure up in countries worldwide - The Company releases a report every
quarter that ranks countries as per their internet speed.
According to them, here are the top 10 countries:-
1. South Korea
People in this country enjoy the fastest internet in the world as the country’s average internet speed measures 29 Mbps, which is 4.6 times quick as the global average. Meaning, the average HD film is about 5,000 mb, which could be downloaded with a computer in over two and half minutes at 29 mbps speed.
Despite the world’s fastest internet connections access, more than 80% of South Korean households face usage limitations, arising from the strong internet censorship of several internet users in South Korea.

Japan is one of the many countries working on super-fast 100Gbps (Gigabytes per second) internet.
Meanwhile, the Japanese provider So-net offers 2GBps internet that is twice as fast as Google Fibre, making it the world’s fastest commercially available internet service.
