Countries with the Fastest & Slowest Internet Speeds in the world
If you thought U.S is the country with the fastest internet in the world, you’re wrong. Its Korea, followed by some very interesting countries like Latvia, Aland Islands, Japan, Romania and Lithuania.
And the countries with the slowest internet are: Guyana, Zambia, Nepal, French Polynesia and the like. Surprising isn’t it ? Here’s the entire chart where all the countries in the world are ranked according to their internet speeds. Both the speediest and the sluggish internet connections of the whole world !
Its a col info, me suffering from Slow net speed
yes this is interesting to see this information but why you highlighted the United Arab Emirates in this list.
Hope India moves up soon, and decreases charge wise
I wish too to increase the ranking of India in this chart
Really, the Internet speeds can stay slow. Let’s worry about getting working sewer systems into densely populated areas. Eventually increasing the toilet to person ratio of 1:34 to the UN standard of 1:6 would be next on the list. After this, then maybe, just maybe, worry about Internet infrastructure. That is, if roads, schools, affordable housing and adequate mass transit are handled first. India may be initiated into the global markets, but it has a long way to go before 1st world complaints seem valid.
India is the 124th ?? Weird…
I am surprised that America is not on the first place.
Aren’t they are the one who invented internet?
yes we did, but the major ISP’s dont want to replace their old and slow switches, those that recently installed the new ones in the past 5 years are much faster. Hence why the some small and poorer countries kick out butt in speed.
No america did not invent the internet it was created by Tim Burnes-Lee who is British but lives in america.
Do not always assume that america invented everything,,,, funnily enough they didnt
internet was invented maybe by a british but that was all american technology
technology stolen from the nazi
Well, the Americans did invent the internet. That lee guy was in the states and was using america’s resources. Its was an American project.
Duh… Everyone knows that Al Gore invented the Internet. Therefore; porn.
wow, Its really informative thanks for sharing.
Even US is 28th ! wow way to go korea
Nice list. Makes me even more depressed that I moved from Hong Kong (12th in Downloads and 6th in Uploads) to Thailand (57th in Downloads and 58th in Uploads).
Your correct I thought USA first and wondered were the United Kingdom would appear, a shocking #43 at least we beat Australia I guess. I want to move to Aland Islands (Were ever they are!)
The data provided by SpeedTest is only the average speed for every country. You can’t decide a country has the fastest connection because of their average speed. UK ranks #43 for Download speed that’s just for average download speed as most users to pick 1 or 4 Mb/ps package as they are cheap and they good to surf & stream. However power users go from 16 to 40Mb/ps whilst Business users go upto 200 Mb/ps. My point is you cannot decide fastest & slowest connection by country by looking into the average speed tests.
What you CAN discren is the proliferation of newer technologies in those countries. For example. The slow speeds in the US is affected by several factors, all stemming from the use of older Internet technologies and poor infrastructure. Everything from switches, servers and even delivery method (coax, fiber, high band copper wiring) all play in a part of average speed. Some rural areas in the US have to rely on satelite as their delivery of broadband (some still use dial-up, but they aren’t included in this study). South Korea just happens to offer better technology to ALL of its users, power user or not, and has much more expansive fiber optic Infrastructure that has replaced practically all of their old copper wire system. So even S. Korea’s low end user package (20 MbS) would blow your so-called power user out of the water, so imagine what S. Korean pro ISPs would offer. All in all, best average speed indicates best technologies being used, therefore; best speeds overall.
Besides, I have no idea what everyone is getting so competitive about. As long as your own ISP is delivering better than national average speeds to you, you’re sitting pretty. I’m quite happy being someone who balances out low speeds with my high speed as I watch my movies, download porn and email bomb my enemies. I’m just glad I don’t live in India… not just for the Internet.
Republic of korea and Latvia are on the top of the table. India should increase the position in this ranking.
OMG, how am I supposed to pronounce the name of my country listed near the bottom? WOW, will be when it is decades by now.
Lietuva pirma, gerai
Latvija otraa uz download, ha, in ur mamas face
hey lietuva anksciau buvo pirma ir download’e, bet koreja pasigerino savo connection’a
Fake and absolutely trustlessness info !
My wish is India should be top in the both of the table soon.
huh india did u said india no way corrupted trai cannot allow they are now planning to decrease the speed instead by applying the fair usage policies
It’s amazing that the one who invented internet is not on the first place. I thought USA first and wondered it appears at shocking #43. Why you highlighted the United Arab Emirates in this list.?
How about indonesia there no list
Indonesia is on there…..
Indonesia is in the 134th for download and in 122nd for upload. Damn it, thought indonesia is the SLOWest. lolz
Thanks for sharing
Its really informative friend. But India should increase the position in this ranking soon. I Hope the best for India to move up soon..
As a gadget geek. The news that the US sucks isn’t surprising but makes me want to move to a country with better internet. Well, the gadget geek side anyways.
The info is outdated, Latvian speeds are much fasted by now.
20 Mbps is the cheapest type of connection now and is offered for 12 EUR a month.
bulgaria download speed 9 in world , upload speed 5 in bulgaria i pay 12 euros per mouth
every day i download movies and music i download 10+mb/s upload 8+mb/s
so lucky u r wish i could b out of stupid india
IM from Pakistan and i have 9.2 Mb/s Speed this list is not correct…
abe bhosdike yeh average hai lavdu pakistani .teri ma ka bhosda le le aur apni gand mein daal le madarchod kam akal ke lavde madarchod saale madarchod
I agree with Fahad Khan. I have 9.2 Mb/s Speed List is not correct. Fuck this list.
this list is based on average download speeds not on connections available in a country
pakistan is bullshit country and i will stay always bullshit country PTCL is internet company in pakistan which is asshole.worlds slowest internet at highest rate
3.1mbps internet at $19/month
download speed:100kbps-125kbps highest
upload speed:20-25kbps highest
yes ur rite ptcl is a fraud company
i m frm india,its useless to decide the speed of internet,its the main thing how much common people use it.in india many companies give speed of 21mbps but those r too costly which r useless for common people…
Haha … im from Romania
and my internet is good 
power user 
download speed real 20mb/s 
and the price is just 10 euros 
15 dolars 
fuck nepal’s internet rank but love nepal’s internet really cheap
still i have 3mb/s,,enough for me 
hehe,, go up 
but i have a nice speed no problem 
Weird list. I live in Norway. pay 60$ a mont and my download speed is max 600 kb/ps…………………..
Why isn’t the UK at the top? I have 50mbps (Soon to be 100mbps) with Virgin Media,
I wanna go back to Korea again. I could download everything in few seconds….
I always suffer in impatience, staying in abroad.
Desiring to go korea n surf net . . . Very slow in nepal
i`m sorry about for iranian people
because iran can be on top of the list but iranian leader don`t want that iranian people acces to the high speed internet
Im proud to live in latvia and have fast internet ;D
Wtf Screw This List, Canada Is Not Average 6.5, I have 20MB Screw this list, and the average for canada is like 12MB???? DISLIKE
Its real reasultats becouse in lithuania dont have much peoples.I thing this is all that country internet speed average,so in lithuania internet sellers is not slow,but in ruusia is slow internets and fast but when they make average,slower internets lower average
Lietuuva duchina visus 
Can anyone tell me why countries such as USA & the UK are in the middle of the list, while small and poor countries such as Latvia, Romenia and Republic of Modova are on top of the list? How can it be possible?
using the NTT Hikari Fiber here in Japan, I download HD movies and games all the time and I gotta say it’s hella fast and super cheap, like ¥3000/month($30)…as a PC gamer I also make gaming videos and uploading them on YouTube is also stupidly fast. I love my Internet!
Where the fuck is pakistan?
just proud about my little country-LITHUANIA! LIETUVA KEEP GOING!!
this is not true… it depend on the network you have…
That’s easy, for small countrys in Europe with good backbones there isn’t need for big investments in infrastructure. 500 Mbit’s for home user? Easy. For just 15-20$
Fuck this, I’m returning to romania. I live in Spain but i’m romanian btw.
Myanmar (Burma) from Asia Internet Speed is 0 Mbps. You will check it.
Consider two factors while asking yourself “Why our country is 75th???”:
1. The size of the country – the smaller the country, the relatively smaller land has to be covered and the smaller amount of money have to bet spent by the carriers. So the fact that the speeds in India or USA are smaller and Lithuania – bigger, shouldn’t surprise you.
2. The technology used. UK has just started using optical fibre technology a few years ago while in Lithuania we already had it since I was a kid.
do not agree with you mate…my country is in 181 and if you know about it, then it’s smaller than NSW of australia or the smallest state of US. But still i m in 181…and our telecommunication industry has used optical fibre 4/5 years back…still…181…ha ha…btw it feels like killing urself when using such a slow internet when i was using fast internet few mths back….

Yeah for Lithuania ;D
????? ?? ??? ? ?????… ?? ?? ??? ??? ?? ?? ??????
I call for putting all the comunication ministers in the Middel East
in jail & loose the key.
Well guys, look at country Oman.. the fastest speed there is 6 mb/s downstream and 0.6 mb/s upstream
this is not accurate…
i could’t believe that india is ahead of spain in internet uploading speed…. wow thats nice
i’m iranian. i sorry about internet speed. now i work with adsl-128 kb per seconds-!!!!!!
Please be precise !
Are the figures in Megabytes/sec or Megabits/sec ?
The important thing is cheap high speed internet connection is available without any limitation(both in data transfer limit sense and time limit sense) outside India.
For example, in US, in philadelphia, 8mbps(download speed) unlimited(which usually goes upto 12mbps) is available just for around $20 ! [8mbps means 1megabytes]
In Hong Kong, 48mbps is available for the same price.
I’m shocked that Ireland is soo low on the list -where Dublin is the European capital of all IT giants (like Microsoft, Google), almost all the European headquorters of these companies are here. As well I am nicely surprised to see Romania (my country) way in the top – at least we have something fast happening there!!!
Right now in Jacksonville, Florida. I have 0.48 Mbps download and 0.67 Mbps upload. I pay $50 to CLEAR for this.
i am sufferning sloe internet speed in india india’s ranked is 124th ,it is not better
My internet is so slow it takes 10 minutes to load half the PAGE OMFG

Russia, Moscow has 80 to 100 Mbps internet speed the upload is also the same and you can Down and upload with equal spped in the same time, I live in Russia, Krasnodar, my speed is 40 Mbps so idon’t know who wrote these numbers above and said that Korea has the fastest internet
