Internet speed and network fee statistics in 20 countries around the world: Japan and South Korea are the fastest and cheapest

The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (itif) recently published a statistical chart listing Internet access in 20 countries around the world, including two indicators: average network speed and network fee.

 

 

In Japan and South Korea, the network speed of both 61 Mbps and 46mbps is much higher than that of other countries. The USD 0.27 and USD 0.45 (both mean the average cost per 1 Mbps) are also the lowest. In fact, this is the only two shortlisted Asian countries, most of which come from economically developed Europe and America.

Finland and Sweden in northern Europe ranked three or four places, with a network speed of 22 Mbps and 18.2 Mbps, but the network fee difference was large. The former was USD 2.77, and the latter was only USD 0.63, however, Norway in the same region is relatively lagging behind, and the network speed is only 7 Mbps, but the network fee reaches 4.04 USD.

France ranks fifth with 17.6mbps, and the cost of $1.76 is not high, while the US only ranks 6.50 at 7.6mbps and $ 15th.

The two most expensive countries with network fees are Mexico and Turkey, both of which cost more than $20. In addition, the UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and Poland are not cheap, both of which are more than $10. In general, the unit cost of fast network speed is lower, which is the most obvious in Japan and South Korea.
