Broadband speed kings

The 2018 Worldwide Broadband Speed League unveils where broadband speed is best.

163 million broadband speed tests conducted across 200 countries reveal Singapore is the world’s fastest country for the second year running, according to the Worldwide broadband speed league 2018.

The country’s vibrant digital economy and diminutive landmass offer significant advantages when it comes to infrastructural development and FTTP (pure fibre) availability, giving it the highest average internet connection speed in 2018.

Sweden, who has decided to focus on FTTP (pure fibre), has given around 60% of Swedish homes and businesses access to speeds of up to 1Gbps (1,000Mbps). This is why it follows Singapore.

In Denmark, ranked 3rd on the index, FTTP (pure fibre) connections are available to more than half of Danish homes and businesses, providing extremely fast speeds and excellent future-proofing.

At #4 is Norway, who has also decided to focus on FTTP, giving 40% of its population the access to pure fiber.

Romania ranks 5th in the world by broadband internet speed in 2018 with an average of 38.6 Mbps measured in the last 12 months.

The five fastest countries have download speeds around 88 times faster than the five slowest.

The countries in the world with the slowest broadband internet speed are Yemen (0.31 Mbps), East Timor (0.49 Mbps) and Turkmenistan (0.56 Mbps).
