World Broadband Speeds

New research by Cisco Systems and the Säid Business School shows who the world leaders are when it comes to broadband speeds.

The leaders, unsurprisingly are South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Sweden with the UK lagging 25th out of the 66 countries listed.  The USA comes 24th.  This will come as no surprise to anyone living in the UK where our poor broadband speeds have been an issue of contention for some years.

The most interesting figures emerge when you examine the findings in full which shows both the USA and UK borderline on meeting the bare minimum “needs of today’s applications” and you can see from the chart how far behind Japan just about every other country is.

Thailand is well to the bottom of the table which probably comes as no surprise but it wouldn't have to improve by much to leapfrog a good number of countries above it in the table.
