That site isn't very reliable.

Hong Kong definitely does not have the fastest Internet from previous experience.

The OP tells us the overall Internet speed, whereas netindex divides Internet speeds into different categories, hence it is not a reliable indicator of overall Internet speed.

Why on earth don't you just search on Google instead of making a thread on Teamliquid about it?

I have to agree with Zato. OP opens post about internet speeds and posts a link about it, then mentions Korean friends downloading movies in less than a minute while just abruptly talking about how SC2 isn't popular there. It really makes no sense.

What's the point of this thread? Just to post that Korea has the fastest internet speeds? It's been that way for a while now for reasons previously stated by Leeoku.

To go further in-depth, Korea is a relatively small country which means it's much easier to roll out infrastructure required for high speeds. The US on the other hand is about 98x times bigger so it's much more difficult to supply everyone with high speed internet.


Not necessarily. High speed Internet has very little to do with land size or population.

It's all about technology.


You honestly think the United States doesn't possess the technological capacity to provide the fastest internet speeds? Do you have any evidence to corroborate the points you're trying to make?

I'm certainly no expert on the matter, but I'd assume it would cost a lot more for the United States to provide faster internet speeds than a nation roughly seven times smaller than the state of Texas.
Those scientists better check their hypotenuses, dude.

It's great for 99.9999% of the websites.

But it blows on Youtube. I swear to God that my ISP is throttling my Youtube speeds. Literally loads 5 seconds, and stops.

Korea's internet speeds are so fast because of how the government implements it. The government pretty much built the internet to what it is in Korea now and because of it Korea's speed is so much faster. I don't really know any specifics except that the government decided to increase its internet usage and capabilities after its economy wasn't doing so good. As a result BW got really popular. SC2 isn't as popular because many of the organizations up until now haven't really been doing much in terms of popularizing it.


we had a dictator who demanded that fiber optic cables be implemented all over the nation
this was decades ago btw
and at the time it was thought to be overkill and ridiculous
so much for that lol
to implement that kind of structural overhaul on a massive scale in today's korea (if it had hypothetically developed to its current extent without it) or in any developed nation would be near impossible to do in a timely manner not to mention incredibly expensive. it was in hindsight a brilliant move - much better than the ridiculously priced slow internet all over the world D:

List doesn't look very accurate at all to me, especially since Sweden is not on it and USA is.
