Taiwan and Singapore top the list of the countries and territories with the fastest internet speeds in the world – the United States is at 15th place and the United Kingdom at 33rd in the ‘Global League’ rankings.
The global average download speed has gone from about 9Mbps in 2017 to just over 11Mbps in 2019. The average download speed in top spot Taiwan is 85.02 megabits per second and that speed it would take someone just eight seconds to download a high definition movie.
They also found that 7 of the top 10 countries and territories with the fastest internet speeds were in Europe – with the fastest coming from the island of Jersey – with speeds of 67 megabits per second – 3 times higher than the United Kingdom.
The top ten countries in terms of internet speeds include Taiwan, Singapore, Jersey, Sweden, Denmark, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Norway.
Yemen is the country with the slowest internet speeds in the world. It would take more than 30 minutes to download a 5gb movie from a 300 Kbps internet connection – that is just a third of a megabit and slower than even 3G mobile internet.
