Of the top 10 countries, 3 are from Asia (the top 3, in fact), and 7 are from Europe. Coming in at number 11 is Canada (4.73 Mbits/s), beating the U.S. (4.60 Mbits/s) at number 12. There's quite a range between the number 1 country's speed - South Korea at just under 17 Mbit/s - and the speed of Internet in Iran, 0.41 Mbits/s.
Distribution of Speeds - Within and Across Countries
Based on all countries' speeds - not just the top 50's - the world average Internet speed clocks in at around 1.8 Mbits/s. A little over a fifth of Internet connections are 5 Mbits/s or faster, and more than half are 2 Mbits/s or faster.
The most colorful chart in the Royal Pingdom report looks not just at the average speed within a country, but how speeds are distributed. This graphic shows that while the slowest connection speeds (256 kbit/s) have almost disappeared in most countries, that they still comprise a good proportion of how much of the world connects to the Internet.
