All of the European countries listed have a smaller population than South Korea, yet Korean Internet is the fastest. This all seems a bit misleading. For instance: In my appartment complex everyone has 1 Mbps, except me, I have 70Mbps. That means that the average speed in this building is 12,5 Mbps. Isn't it misleading to say that the average speed is 12,5 Mbps when we use the exact same physical connection which has a lot more capacity than that? Or am I missing something? | ||

I had 1 Mbps myself before I recently buffed it to 70 Mbps. They basically flipped a switch from afar. I called them, ordered, restarted my stuff and awesome internet occured. | ||

In that site, it says Korea has the fastest upload speeds in the world. All the sources suggest Korea has the fastest Internet connection in the world. | ||

I however, live in the central outskirts of Oslo, the biggest city in Norway. I don't have anything close to fiber being available on the horizon anytime soon. I still have like 20/4 but, nowhere near what i had in Sweden(100/10). It all boils down to how much of a priority local governments make internet speed and availability to be. Norway has sick internet coverage for being such a wide, geographicly difficult country(like 98% of population have access to the internet, and alot of the population live in very remote places) but speed hasn't really been a priority it seems since getting anything above 10mbit is extremely expensive compared to say Sweden. | ||

What tariff is this, can't find such a thing on the ISP's page. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/1927862866.png) I pay 40 euros a month for this, and it disconnects a lot. I wanna thank Telecom to be a monopoly and the government in Italy to be a weak one, subdued by every lobby that exists in Italy. | ||

To be honest, I wouldn't even know what to do with internet speeds that high. Maybe stream everything at once in high res | ||

Rogers and Bell provide shitty service and they overcharge because they can. I'm currently on Rogers highest business line and it's still crap. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/1928136594.png) My company wanted to cut cost on internet so we recently cut the speed in half. It used to be 100 mbps.  | ||
