Japan may have the fastest speeds but they don’t use it for anything. Your average Japanese person doesn’t know how to use an internet that’s not formatted for his phone.

@ OmfgWtfZergod:

What does that have to do with anything. North Canada is large, but no one lives there (Nunavut has 30, 000 people – the size of some neighbourhoods, and how many of those towns do you think are online. I’ll willing to bet ‘Iqaluit’). That’s not enough to tip the AVERAGE.

And if you’re suggesting that distance has something to do with speed: The distance even within a country is a minor factor. But somehow i doubt they were testing the speed in Toronto from Klukshu.

By the by, ever time there’s a single Japanese person in my torrent swarm, it’s guaranteed that Japanese person will be uploading to me at, like, 2 mb/s or more. Compared to the .5 most other countries offer.

To make it a better; it should also compare landmass. Canada is large; but much of the pop. is in the Southern parts.

Japan as the highest speed; but they are 1/25th the size of the USA.

USA 74.7 people sq. mile
Japan 866.8 people a sq. mile

(pop.dated a little bit.)

Am I to believe we feel a “Diminishing Population” is a problem? Not these days it isn’t.

Only reason all those Asian countries have such high internet speeds is because all of their national sports involve the computer and a copy of Starcraft.

…Well, maybe just Korea on that one.

@ Drew:

China no longer has the internet. They’ve censored it out of existence.

all i can attest to is that the cable companies in the US can suck on my balls.

I’ve never had worse service, or been more disappointed. I never get the connection speeds i pay for.
