Internet speed largely has little to do with how “advanced” a country is, but almost everything to do with how shitty and capitalistic their ISPs are.
Agree, speed in the EU only depends on the amount of money you are willing to pay for the connection. You can have a fiber connection of one Gbs, but as a poor retiree that I am, I am left with 50Mbs of real max speed. The map shows average values, adding that to make matters worse, the contracted speed rarely coincides with the real speed.
Yeah, but there is also the effect where more “advanced” countries got internet infrastructure earlier and therefore installed older technology. And now this older technology is still ‘good enough’, so that no one wants to invest in upgrading it.
You can usually even see that difference for rural vs. urban.
A similar map with real internet access, i.e not stuck behind some CG-NAT, with decent upload speeds and without some traffic preference would be more interesting.
I don’t particularly care for those fast on paper, but in reality only good for watching Netflix & Youtube crap.
man, the minimum is 10-20, and I’m here with less than 5 . I can watch netflix and make video calls though, so I don’t see the need.
weird that it has no data on Iceland :/
Oh shit I need one of those but with Latin America. I guess will be all red. Average internet speed in Venezuela doesn’t even reach 10 Mbps
internet is american imperialism
down with american imperialism 😎😎😎

Last I heard, ISP raise the speed for speed test sites/services. Which is why netflix had to create their own speed test service which uses servers that also serves its content from.
so is this really based realistic statistics??
I haven’t use speed test for quite a while but the speed results and reality were vastly different
Dang, why are hungary and romania kicking ass, but everyone around them doing not as well?

honestly, why do people even need internet speeds beyond 100 mbit? 🤷♀️
Very easy, multiple people in same house watching YouTube, Netflix, etc on 1080p for a start. Quicker downloads for Steam Game updates which can be 10 to 20GB a game, publishing a video to YouTube could take ages otherwise. Yes it may not be a “need” as you say, but then we could also just be using dial-up modems too still ;-)
Why no people even needs internet tbh? Let us return to monke
😎😎🙉🙉
To download files faster?
As a ~500Mbps internet user, i cant agree to this.
