It is not uncommon that throughout the day we complain several times about how slow our Internet connection is. That if I can not download apps, if I can not send things by WhatsApp, if Facebook is slow, if I have a lot of ping ... are complaints that we all have, and that could be summarized in "problems of the first world". While we pay for a connection of 300 MB symmetric, there are countries where, possibly, we would end up pulling the hair.
In which countries do you have the slowest Internet connection? Mobile connection From the list of 123 countries, those at the bottom of the ranking are developing countries in the Middle East and some in Latin America. At the bottom we find Iraq, Libya, Bangladesh and Tajikistan, whose average speed does not exceed 6 MB per second. To get an idea, with that speed its inhabitants can not make video calls or use the cloud applications in conditions, let alone play online or consume movies on Netflix. At the top is Ukraine, Venezuela and Algeria, whose download speed barely exceeds 8 Mbps. For you to compare, Spain has an average of 31.34 Mbps, the United States 27.22 and China 32.52, one more speed That's enough to consume content in 4K and play online without difficulties. Fixed broadband connection If we look at the download speed ranking with fixed broadband connection, we do not find great surprises. In the lower part we have Algeria, Venezuela and Libya, with 3.48; 3.65 and 3.85 Mbps download respectively. With this connection, you can hardly watch movies and series in standard definition on Netflix. The upper part is dominated by Pakistan, followed by Honduras and Uzbekistan, whose speeds are 6.14 Mbps the first two and 6.14 the third. Again, if we look for countries with which to compare, Spain, the United States and China are at 65.65; 77.32 and 63.69 Mbps respectively, that is, Spain has a speed 10.47 times higher than El Salvador. Far below the global average.
