A few things worth noting:
In the latest quarter, Hong Kong (54.1 Mbps) has increased its lead over SouthKorea (48.8 Mbps).
Of the current top five countries, its only Japan that has been able to pass HongKong and South Korea in the chart since 2007.
Hong Kong andSouth Korea have been rather lonely at the top, widening the gap tothe other countries sincethe third quarter 2011.
The United States has dropped down to 14th place in the latest quarter, andadded here just for reference.
None of the big European countries, like France, Germany and United Kingdom,made the top five list. United Kingdom,currently in 16th place with an averagepeak connection speed of 28.1 Mbps,has the highest ranking of the three.

A few things worth noting:
Asia clearly has the largest distribution of Internet speeds of any continent.
Looking only at the median speed, Asia has the lowest number of all continentsexcept Africa.
The slowest average peak connection speed in Asia is that ofIran at 2.9 Mbps.
Malaysia, with an average peak connection speed at 18.2 Mps, represents theaverage countryin the continent very well.
The country closest to the median would be Lebanon at 12.6 Mbps in averagepeak connection speed.
Africa, Europe, South America, and the Pacific (which includes Australia and NewZealand) all have a rather even distribution; consequently they have a median and an
average that are both located near the middle.

What is clear from this is that not
every person across Asia enjoys the
same superfast Internet as HongKong and South Korea. In fact,
many people have some of the
slowest Internet speeds anywhereon the planet.

But what is also clear is that the potentialfor growth in Asia is astonishing. For
example, China has 565 million Internet
users, which represents only 42.1% of the
population. Based on our findings,it wouldseem like Internet speeds in many parts of
the continent would have to increase
considerably, so that the typical person inAsia (the median) would enjoy a better
Internet experience.
