Internet: how are the speeds in the main countries
Learn which nations have the fastest connections and which are still in the age of dial-up internet
Moreover , we bring the data on the amount of connections that are above 10 Mbps and a comparative to show how long it takes to upload a full HD video in each of these countries .
Global overview of the internet
Using more than one hundred countries for research , Akamai has collected data on the basis that the nations had at least 25,000 unique IP addresses. The document was constructed based on the statistics obtained during the third quarter of 2013 , with the latest figures were compared to 2012 to identify the growth rate .
Below , you can check the global average (which sum all speeds from all countries and divides by the number of participants ) and top 10 world with the fastest connection :
0 . Global - 3.6 Mbps ( 29 % growth over last year)
1. South Korea - 22.1 Mbps ( 51 % )
2 . Japan - 13.3 Mbps ( 27 % )
3 . Hong Kong - 12.5 Mbps ( 39 % )
4 . Netherlands - 12.5 Mbps ( 46 % )
5 . Switzerland - 11.6 Mbps ( 33 % )
6 . Czech Republic - 11.3 Mbps ( 49 % )
7 . Latvia - 11.1 Mbps ( 28 % )
8 . United States - 9.8 Mbps ( 31 % )
9. Belgium - 9.7 Mbps ( 46 % )
10 . Ireland - 9.6 Mbps ( 43 % )
The fastest connections in the world!
Besides finding the averages of countries , Akamai worked to find out which are the fastest connections in the world. Building on the peak velocity of the analyzed networks , the company managed to collect data and find out which are the fastest in the world.
As the company that made the data analysis , peak data connections can be more revealing about the capitals of the countries surveyed , as are the regions where people demand better connections and companies invest in better infrastructure .
1. Hong Kong - 65.4 Mbps
2 . South Korea - 63.6 Mbps
3 . Japan - 52 Mbps
4 . Singapore - 50.1 Mbps
5 . Israel - 47.7 Mbps
6 . Romania - 45.4 Mbps
7 . Latvia - 43.1 Mbps
8 . Taiwan - 42.7 Mbps
9. Netherlands - 39.6 Mbps
10 . Belgium - 38.5 Mbps
Absurd growth in Brazil
The report Akamai's brought a lot of interesting data , but certainly the information about the Brazil noteworthy (something that the very supplier of data highlights several times throughout the document ) .
The first thing worth mentioning with regard to the number of IPs in our country . Still we introduce a well shy number ( only 34 million IPs ) than in the United States ( that is on top with 158 million IPs ) , we are the country with the highest growth in IPv4 technology.
From one year to another , the number of IPv4 addresses has increased by 52 % , which shows that more and more Brazilians are gaining access to the global network . On our tail , we have India and China, which showed annual growth of 32 % and 17 % respectively.
Slow adoption of IPv6
When dealing with the issue of new technology , Brazil is still among the most technological countries . According to data from Akamai , the top 3 in the matter of IPv6 addresses is for Romania , Switzerland and France .
Even the United States and Japan do not show strong adherence to such a novelty , and the data traffic is not even 5 % in those nations ( the U.S. , only 4.2 % of the connections use this technology in Japan and the number drops to 1 , 9%) .
Although we are not as tuned in new technologies, we have an institution that stands against foreign. According to the report, the State University of Ponta Grossa ranked first among the universities with the highest percentage of IPv6 connections, reaching a staggering 80% of IPv6 addresses.
How is your connection?
As you can see, the situation in Brazil is not the best, but at least we're not last in the ranking. Your internet connection is according to the collected data or your carrier offers more robust plans? Stay tuned because soon we will bring an article talking about the situation of mobile connections worldwide.
