    It should come as no surprise that the world’s fastest Internet connection speeds can be found in Asia, with Hong Kong offering an impressive 54.1 Mbps, the fastest in the world. But would you believe us if we said that the world’s slowest connection speeds can also be found in Asia? How is that possible, you ask? Read on for all the numbers.

    A few things worth noting:



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

    So the three countries with the fastest Internet connections are in Asia...

    What happens if we look at continents instead?

    How can that be?

    Asia has the top three countries with the fastest speeds but can only manage third place as a continent!

    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 continents except Africa. The slowest average peak connection speed in Asia is that of Iran at 2.9 Mbps. Malaysia, with an average peak connection speed at 18.2 Mps, represents the average country in the continent very well. The country closest to the median would be Lebanon at 12.6 Mbps in average peak connection speed. Africa, Europe, South America, and the Pacic (which includes Australia and New Zealand) 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 Hong Kong and South Korea. In fact, many people have some of the slowest Internet speeds anywhere on the planet.

    pingdom.com

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

    The question is, when will that happen?
