Internet speeds vary wildly from one location to the next, and well all know that, especially if the connections are wireless data networks through our mobile carriers. Still, it might surprise you to see the average Internet speeds in various countries around the world. Who do you suppose has the fastest connections? Japan? The UK? The good ole’ USA? If that’s what you’re thinking, you may need to think again. What you’re about to see is guaranteed to surprise you.
My beef with this is that we in America are supposedly The World Leader, and therefore we should have the best infrastructure, including all things digital, right? Well, not so fast! According to this info graphic, America the Beautiful is really America the Pitiful when it comes to Internet speeds. Could it have something to do with too much big government butting in and imposing strangling regulations on our Internet service providers? Could that also be what’s wrong with cable and satellite services and everything else that’s a little too stuck in the red tape around here? You be the judge. (Click to expand the graphic!)
