According to a quarterly study (2008 last quarter) conducted by the Akmai Technologies (a US based Internet content distribution giant) the average Internet connection speed across the globe was found to be 1.5Mbps. Here is a list of the countries having top class Internet Connection Speeds.
1. The top internet connections in the world are from South Korea. This country with only the 13th largest economy in the world, rises far above everyone else when it comes to internet connection speeds. Nearly 70 percent of internet connections in South Korea are over 5 Mbps with the average being 15 Mbps.
2. Not surprisingly, Japan ranks second in internet connections and broadband speeds. Japan ranks second on average broadband speeds but over 50% of the connections in Japan are above 7 Mbps
3. Honk Kong ranks third in average connection speed, with 6.9 Mbps being the median, but only 38 percent of the connections are above 5 Mbps.
4. Romania, with a population of 21 and a half million at last count, comes in fourth for internet connection speed, 5.7 Mbps being the average. However, they rank lower when it comes to average superfast connections, with only 45% being above 5 Mbps.
5. Sweden is nearly tied with Romania for extremely high speed connections, with 39% being over 5. They also compete well for average connection speeds with Romania, thier average being 5.6, just one point down from Romania's 5.7 Mbps.
6. Switzerland is in the number six spot, not making our list for high broadband connections, but grabbing our number six for the average connection speed being 5 Mbps.
7. Our last spot is taken by The Netherlands, which you may be more familiar with as Holland. This country, just west of Germany, competes well with everyone else on the list with the average connection speed being 4.9 Mbps. They completely blow Switzerland away on average high speed broadband connections, with 28% being over 5 Mbps.
Surprisingly, the United States is fifth for having the most computers per capita, but only ranks 17 on the list for average internet connection speeds. The average speed of connections in the US is only 3.9 Mbps.

Only a quarter of the country has super fast broadband connections of over 5 Mbps. China is far behind nearly everyone with thier average connection speed only around 800 kpbs and less than 1 percent of China's internet users having a high speed broadband connection of over 5 Mbps.
