Japan leads in Internet speeds

All the countries on top have the majority of their population concentrated in relatively small areas of the country. Comparing it to the US where the population is spread throughout and with a much larger landmass is a pretty stupid comparison. I personally get 20mbit, that is common where I live, whereas someone living just 50 miles away from me, 1.5mbit may be standard. Compare these speeds with US metropolitan areas and I’m sure the numbers will be up to par.

as usual, them japanese guys are pretty advance in everything. all u internet base belong to them.

Japan is the best!

Looks like Japan is really maximizing its technology, pairing it with impressive dsl speed! well, my bestbud says Canada’s dsl is way way wayy faster than ours, so what more with Japan? :) I can only imagine! :)

Thanks, it was a pretty interesting chart to me, because I lived and did commercial Internet business in Japan from 1996 through 1999. At that time the telcos and the government were not very forward looking about the Internet at all … South Korea was already about at the speeds they are today, so this had been a tremendous move forward for Japan, in 8 year’s time.

@ Vern, yes, it’s true, the US average speed sucks .. it’s better than the Philippines, perhaps, but lags far, far behind many other countries … much of the US infrastructure is owned/run by cable TV companies and their Internet service is just a necessary evil to them and their business model is built upon “provide the customer with the absolute least”. HBO is much more profitable than ISP service, so that’s where the money is spent.

And there’s a lot of interest – a ton of it, on the spectrum auction in the US. Controversies are surrounding it as we speak. It will quite possibly be the last auction of such in a very long time, thus major players are scrambling for a bigger piece of the pie. And consumers and advocacy groups know that the results of the auction will play a significant role on pricing and service trends in the years that will follow….

Japan is a tiny island compared to America. Of course Japan has higher Internet. There is no reason to be upset or angry. Deal with it. :/

this is what makes me sick.
we are probably in the top five when it comes to IT outsourcing but our internet here is so slow and expensive.

govt and telcos should really do something about this.

The speeds are pretty good in Japan :)
Here (in Bulgaria, in Eastern Europe) the speeds are around 30 MBit/s, and technologies like PON, FTTH, FTTP are just starting on the market. I’m on GBit fiber and speed 20+ MB/s (megabytes) are normal.
I wonder that price are paying in Japan for their connections?

how do those countries get such hi speed??????

cheese..just an internetconnection…do’nt care who has the fastest connection.

Kaya mahina internet speed natin kasi mahal daw yung equipment yan ang palusot ng telco dito sa Pinas pero sa totoo bilyones ang profit nila.I’m an Engineer by profession working in a telco company.Fiber Optics na tayo dito mula Luzon to mindanao. I’m a network engineer designing optical networks. What the management do is they limit the bandwidth to us subscribers. I know that Telco here are using the DWDM platform with STM 64 as transmission speed of data. That’s a very large bandwidth but to divide the internet speed among consumers they limit it. So if i were to compare speed in other countries we are really behind. Companies here and NTC they have an agreement na di natin alam. Tapos sasabihin nila na hi velocity broadband??? how ironic!!! dapat nga wala na tayo 384 kbps. 1 mbps to 2mbps dapat minimum speed. Kaya yan sa Telco dito pero mahal bayad naman baka ubos pera mo sa monthly bills…

ako rin wishing sana maging kagaya sa japan ang internet. taga shizuoka ko sa japan and im paying 2500 pesos for 7mbps internet speed. sobrang bilis mag youtube. actually pag sinubukan mo watch ng mga videos sa youtube na galing sa japan diba mejo mabagal mag load satin. mahilig rin po sila watch youtube etc. download and anything. hmm ngayon nasa pinas ako never pa rin ako nakakita ng sobra bilis na net fo just 2500.

Hi, just wandered by. I have a Rhode Island 4g website. Can’t believe the amount of information out there. Not what I was looking for, but very nice site. Take care.
