Discussions about the public’s access to broadband often focus on which areas or countries have the most high-speed Internet connections.
However, with new demanding internet services on the rise what really matters is the speed of the internet connection. Akamai (AKAM) has published a report that ranks the speed of internet connections around the world. In the first quarter of 2009, about one-fifth of the internet connections around the world were at speeds greater than 5 Mbps.
The report includes broadband adoption data gathered from across Akamai’s network of more than 50,000 servers in 70 countries, and categorises internet connections by download speeds.
Three Asian countries are in the top five and seven European countries are in the top ten. A slide show of the top twenty can be found here.
