South Korea Wins Internet Speed Race | Penn Olson

By Rick Martin on 05 May 2011

Akamai just released its quarterly State of the Internet report, and we were curious to look at the internet speed rankings again this quarter. The average speed in South Korea was higher than any non-Korean city could muster, at 13.7 Mbps. Hong Kong and Japan ranked as the second and third regions with 9.4 and 8.3 Mbps respectively. In contrast the world average is 1.9 Mbps.
