The Internet has become an indispensable part of modern life. It plays a vital role in people's communication, work, learning, entertainment and many other areas of life. Recently, in most countries of the world, as in Russia, high-speed Internet connection is not uncommon. You can get into it not only with the help of a stationary PC, but also with a regular mobile phone. However, in this article, we will focus on the champions among providers and talk about where you can find the fastest internet in the world.
The Chinese island city of Hong Kong, which is a business center, is the undisputed leader in terms of Internet speed. To date, this particular city is able to provide a record speed of 65.5 megabytes / second, which is about a quarter higher than the world average.
The Republic of Korea has been one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world since the 1970s, showing incredible results in a variety of areas. The Internet was no exception. The connection speed here reaches an incredible result of 63 megabytes / second.
Japan is another Asian power in a leading position. The connection here can reach speeds of 52 megabytes / second. This is especially impressive because, due to its geographical location, Japan is experiencing certain difficulties with the organization of a single infrastructure.
The last Asian country in the top five countries with the fastest internet in the world. The average connection speed over the past year has grown here by more than 50 percent and reached 50 megabytes / second, which is slightly less than in Japan. No wonder that Singapore was chosen by the co-founder of the social network Facebook Eduardo Saverin as his home.
The main Middle Eastern power is trying not to yield to its Asian counterparts. 40 megabytes / second - the average speed of connecting to the Web in this country. As in Singapore, there is a very noticeable increase - 55% increase in one year.
Surprisingly enough, sixth place in this ranking is occupied by a small European power that does not have a reputation as a technological giant. However, this is a fact. Home Internet is available here at a speed of 38 megabytes / second, which is the best result in Europe.
Seventh position belongs to the homeland of Count Dracula. It is very remarkable that this is the only participant in the rating that has shown a decline over the past year. The average speed in Romania decreased by 5% and reached 37 mb/s.
Belgium is the first among Western European countries in terms of connection speed. Here you can download 32 mb/s.
It's hard to think of any country as a high-speed one, so it's about Bulgaria. However, this is a fact - being in this country you will be able, on average, to download 32 megabytes in one second.
Yes, oddly enough, but this country boasts not only its banks, but also the Internet. Downloading one gigabyte will take half a minute here (29 megabytes / second).
Wireless Internet deserves special mention, which has recently begun to occupy a huge part of the “market”, after the outdated 3g was replaced by 4g, which made the mobile Internet really fast.
According to statistics, the country that is the leader in this regard is Spain (18 megabytes / second).
Colleagues from OpenSignal conducted another study of networks, through which today we will try to determine which country has the fastest mobile Internet in the world. It will be not only about 4G, but also about 3G.
The data was obtained from 822,556 users worldwide who use mobile software from OpenSignal. In addition, I want to pay attention to networks and determine how much time the user spends “surfing” the Internet using this type of connection.
South Korea became the country with the fastest mobile Internet, the Internet speed in this country is 41 Mbps. Singapore is next with 31 Mbps. In third place is Hungary, the Internet speed there is 26 Mbps. It should be noted that the results of this study are as real as possible, since the real speed of users is determined, and not the maximum actual speed.
If we take the United States as an example, there the Internet speed is 12.3 Mbps, in the UK - 13.7 Mbps, in China "modest" 18 Mbps. In France, Germany, Italy, Greece and Portugal, the figures are similar and equal to an average of 13 Mbps. If we consider developing countries, for example, India, the mobile Internet speed there is 5.3 Mbps.
Users of the countries with the highest Internet speeds are at least 90% of the time in the area of 3G coverage and above. Moreover, in the USA, with its modest figure, we have 91% for this parameter, which is rather strange.
In addition, at present, users still tend to use Wi-Fi connections instead of 4G connections, with the latter type of connections not fast enough in certain countries. Meanwhile, one cannot but deny the fact that the mobile Internet, and even more so LTE, eats a lot of device resources, and, as you already understood, we are talking about a battery charge that will melt before our eyes. For example, in 46 countries, users spend more than 50% of their time using a Wi-Fi connection.
Even residents of countries with the fastest 3G/4G connections spend 60% of their time online using Wi-Fi.

MTS is the leader among operators in terms of average mobile Internet speed in Russia. This is the conclusion reached by the experts of the Radio Frequency Center of the Central Federal District, subordinate to Roskomnadzor, said at a conference in Moscow on May 26, Deputy General Director of the center Dmitry Mitrofanov. The study was conducted according to the methodology of Roskomnadzor with measurements in 52 cities: experts recorded the speed of data transfer to the subscriber.
The average speed of mobile Internet at MTS was 6.6 Mbps, in general, it turned out to be lower in the market - 5.4 Mbps. Above the "average Russian" speed of the Internet and MegaFon - 5.6 Mbps. Third place was taken by VimpelCom (Beeline brand), whose network speed was 5.2 Mbps. At Tele2, data is transmitted at an average speed of 4.8 Mbps. The last place was taken by the Crimean operator "K-Telecom" (brand Win Mobile) with an indicator twice lower than the market average - 2 Mbps.
The radio frequency center has been measuring the quality of communication since 2015. It has improved over the year, Mitrofanov says. For example, in Moscow, the average data transfer rate doubled from 3.2 to 6.1 Mbps. This is due to an increase in the number of base stations for signal transmission using LTE (4G) technology, the deputy general director of the center explains. According to Roskomnadzor, over the year the number of LTE base stations in Russia increased by 109%, to 72 thousand. MTS has the most of them - 27 thousand. MegaFon has 26 thousand such stations, VimpelCom Tele2 - almost 4 thousand subscribers
The fastest mobile Internet is received by residents of the Central Federal District, and the slowest - by the Far East, Mitrofanov said. In Moscow, experts put Tele2 in first place in terms of data transfer speed, which. It is followed by MTS and VimpelCom. Only MegaFon, which took last place, had a data transfer rate lower than the average for the capital. Mitrofanov did not disclose specific data for each of the operators in the capital.
Representatives of the operating companies differed in their assessments of the study. Only MTS agreed with the conclusions: “The company is the leader both in terms of the number of 4G base stations and the coverage area - our fourth-generation networks,” said Dmitry Solodovnikov, a representative of the operator. At the same time, according to Solodovnikov, in Moscow “it is incorrect to compare the parameters of the MTS network with the network of a newcomer to the rating”: it has many times fewer subscribers, so the load is five to seven times lower than that of the Big Three operators.

You know I'm an old paranoid. In our difficult time for the country, no one can be trusted. Primarily open Wi-Fi networks. Do you want to lose your passwords, bank card data and catch a virus? Welcome to public Wi-Fi! When I am in Moscow, I spend most of my time running around the city. Somewhere I took something off, somewhere I sat down, processed it and posted it. Previously, it was necessary to look for a cafe with the Internet. But for several years now, I have never connected to public Wi-Fi networks at all. What for? Mobile Internet works fine in Moscow. Few countries in the world will see such speed. At one time, I didn’t even have the Internet at home, since it was easier to distribute from the phone than to look for a provider and set up a router.
There are actually a number of companies that offer low-cost or free home internet services, but what's available to you will depend on where you live and your financial situation. Here are some verification options. You just plug it in and you're ready to go. Check with the TV and phone service providers in your area to find out what types of package packages they offer.
If, however, you can't find a high-speed service that fits your budget, and you don't run a slower service, consider connecting to the Internet. Low Income Internet If your income is low enough and you live in a participating state, there are also a number of programs that offer inexpensive high speed Internet service.
It is also important that the Internet is not only mobile, but also fast. After all, it’s not enough to write in a messenger, you need to record an online broadcast and watch a heavy video on YouTube.
A year ago, a fourth operator, Tele2, appeared in Moscow. And there is even more good internet. Today Tele2 claims that it has the fastest mobile Internet in the city - it was recognized as the best in Moscow three times.
Also, watch out for the government's Lifetime Broadband Program, which may soon offer high-skilled citizens across the country, high-speed home internet services at a low cost.
This guy has the fastest home internet in the United States. What is the guy with the fastest internet in the United States doing with his jealousy-ridden bandwidth? Over the past two years, startups and community ISPs have grabbed the headlines as they began rolling out the first 10-gigabit talk over residential internet connections in the United States.
Don't believe?
Here are the latest tests in different places.
The Bolshoi Theater has a download speed of just over 17 Mbps, and an upload speed of 19.7 Mbps.
At the Historical Museum, the speed is even better - the reception is 19.9 Mbps, and the transmission is 20.4 Mbps.
"When you think about it that way, it's pretty cool," Bush told me, "you ruined it." Its communication is 400 times faster. His whole house is connected, and the fiber goes straight into the house. While 10 gigabyte connections sound over the top, Bush says his family quickly began to use all of their 1 gigabyte bandwidth.
We launched this gig for eight or nine months. We don't see it at 10 concerts. "You get used to everything that happens instantly." Most importantly, however, his connection made him a better player due to a phenomenon known as "host advantage" that exists in games that use peer-to-peer servers.
The State Duma has 18.9 Mbps for reception and 20 Mbps for transmission.
In my office on Tverskaya, the speed is worse - 17.3 Mbps for reception and 3 Mbps for transmission. In a building, the speed is always slightly worse than in the open air.
But they say this is not the limit and there are places where the Internet is even faster. Therefore, I ask you to help me find a place with the highest internet speed. Whoever does this will receive 5,000 rubles from us and Tele2 to the account.
"If you're playing first-person shooters and you're the host, you get a few milliseconds advantage for the other people you're playing with," Bush said. If you have a connection with the giants, you always take over, so you end up ruling.
The only thing that ties this is the processing power, not the connection. The offer of 10 concerts has the symbolic meaning of "a lot". This shows that our technology can do what no one else can do. For a single offer, 10 Gb/s is rare and scattered mostly in rural communities that choose to build their own internet networks.
What do we have to do?
1. Connect to Tele2 (if you have not already done so) and check your mobile internet speed. This can be done in the SpeedTest application (here is the version for iPhone, Android and Windows).
2. Find the location with the fastest speed, and take a screenshot from the SpeedTest app.
3. Send a screenshot in the comments to this post and write where exactly you took it. Do not try to cheat - Tele2 will definitely check whether such a speed is really possible at the specified point.
Most companies with the technology offer gigabit connections at affordable prices and 10 Gbps connections at relatively unbearable prices. So far, 10 Gb/s connectivity is available in Chattanooga; parts of southern Vermont; Salisbury, North Carolina; and parts of Detroit and Minneapolis.
If you know someone who has 10 Gb/s as a live client, email me with a screenshot of your speed test or your story! Speaking of speed tests, Bush says only a couple of ISPs can actually handle his connection.
He was supposed to send me a screenshot, but technical difficulties made it unavailable for several weeks. The speedometer only says 1 gig, but it will "turn around a couple of times". So with this kind of launch, we can start the conversation with what kind of hardware they will need to use the 10 gigabyte service.
Screenshots in the comments can be sent until Friday. Then, together with Tele2, we will select two people who recorded the highest speed in Moscow and the Moscow region, and transfer 5,000 rubles to their account. What can I spend 5,000 rubles with a Tele2 SIM card for?
Within 8 months, an unlimited number of times to call numbers in Moscow and the Moscow region.
- During the year, spend 10 GB of Internet traffic from your phone every month.
- Break the world record for 55 and a half hours of uninterrupted phone conversation (the current record is 54 hours and 5 minutes).
Bush, a former follower of almost everything, says he only has two machines with hard wires to be able to use a 10Gbps connection, while his is only able to feed a 3Gbps signal. don't feel bad for him.
A long time since high-speed broadband internet service has gone from a point of pride to an essential utility. And, like all utility providers, ISPs will go to great lengths to extract the maximum value from each of their customers.
Well, everyone else can go to the Tele2 gift site, where every day you can receive bonuses from the company's partners. Or take part in a creative contest: create the Tele2 logo in different creative ways, take pictures and share photos on social networks with the hashtags #Tele2yeartogether and #MoscowSpeaks. For the most original options, you can get a year of free communication at the Blackest tariff, an annual subscription to a fitness center, an annual cinema subscription and other pleasant surprises.
Fortunately, there are six tactically oriented customers who can use broadband service at the lowest price. Do not accept any offer unless it is written. Broadband services have become a highly competitive market in areas where there are multiple providers. My friends and I were offered preferential plans just to save money when we got our first bill. After all, we learned that sales departments will say anything to sign you up, and their billing departments will always demand ignorance.
The competition and gifts are dedicated to the anniversary of Tele2 in Moscow and the Moscow region. The company has something to celebrate: this year it managed to achieve many successes. She offered tariffs that were 25-40% cheaper than other operators, including the first and only tariff in the region with unlimited calls to phones of all operators. So the "big three" also had to cut prices. It turns out that regardless of whether you use a Tele2 SIM card or not, you still have something to thank the new operator for.
In terms of network coverage and quality, Tele2 caught up with the Big Three. I have already told you about the speed of mobile Internet - you can now check it yourself.
I wish Tele2 further success, and good luck to you in the contest;)
The Internet is firmly entrenched in the life of modern man. It is quite difficult to imagine the absence of the Internet at work or at home. As the popularity of the Internet grows, so does the speed of the Internet. If it is small, then downloading a large file or watching a video in HD quality on the same one will be quite difficult. It is not surprising that users strive to connect themselves to the fastest internet that is possible.
If you need internal wiring, you'd better do it yourself. Because your ISP can't start billing you until the service is up and running, you can expect pretty good phone support to guide you through the setup process.
Do not remove your modem. If you think this unfortunate situation can't happen to you, check your internet account and you can find equipment rental fees. These fees are only increasing. Who knew there was a shortage of modems all over the world?
Progress is moving forward and every year, thanks to cutting-edge technologies, the speed of the Internet connection is increasing. At the same time, it is different in different countries of the world. Independent experts annually conduct research to find out who has the fastest Internet in the world, which lucky countries can provide such a service to the population? Topped the list for several years
Internet speeds here are approx. 14.1-14.3 Mbps. It is noteworthy that South Korea also has the largest number of smartphone owners. Further, the top five are: Japan, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Switzerland.
But the absolute and officially certified high-speed Internet record is the private connection of a certain Mrs. Sigbritt Lotberg. She is 75 years old and lives in Sweden in the city of Karlstad. Her internet speed is impressive - 40 Gbps. This is several thousand times faster than all other users in the world. Where did the old woman get such an incredible innovation?
If you are not eligible for a promotion, you can simply switch to another provider. Complain Regularly. If your service is not perfect, it will probably drop from time to time. Don't accept these shutdowns without getting something in return. Like most other companies, you can contact your ISP. Keep a log of your issues and request help with your application every time you notice service outages or even slowdowns.
You don't have to pay an outrageous price to get a quality internet service. How do you save money to go online? The content of this article. If you are planning to live in Berlin, you should definitely get an internet contract. But how do you know which contract and what suits you best? Well, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Everything is very simple. This is a gift from her son Peter Lotberg, a specialist in fiber optic communications, an employee of Cisco, a world-famous network equipment developer. Peter has developed a unique super technology, thanks to which the transmission of signals between routers without additional intermediary equipment over a distance of up to 2000 km has become a reality.
First of all, Germany can be a well developed country and as a customer you are always right. But when it comes to service and internet providers, you will need a lot of patience. This appointment may take 2 to 4 weeks after the registration of your internet contract. In fact, there are several reasons that we will all talk about.
The best way to find a cheap deal is to compare your options. Use our comparison tool to select your requirements and find the package that offers them at the lowest price. The cheapest deals for everyone are usually offered by budget providers, and they don't come with a lot of bells and whistles.
Relatively small financial resources were invested in this amazing event. Interestingly, before that, Mrs. Lotberg did not even have a computer. Now she can afford to watch more than 1000 HDTV video channels at the same time or download an HD movie in just a couple of seconds. Today Peter Lotberg, together with Karlstad's provider Karlstad Stadsnät, is working on the task of territorial expansion of the new communication channel.
In other words, home internet doesn't have to cost a fortune. If you are looking for less broadband, you have a choice of many different providers. Here's everything you need to know about cheap broadband to find the best deal.
If you're looking for inexpensive internet access, you're running out of options. Quite a few providers specialize in broadband that won't break the bank. This is a complete package for cheap. The Post Office is no longer just a place to buy stamps, the Post Office is a respected budget broadband provider these days. And, unlike your competitors, you can pay your bill in cash through the post office counter.
The purpose of this record was to show that in the near future people all over the world will be able to use ultra-fast Internet, while spending not so much money. Congratulations to Sigbritt, she has become the owner of the fastest internet in the world!
Russia has a very good and, no less important, affordable home Internet. Seriously! In villages and a very deep province, things are, of course, worse, but take any, even a small city in the European part of the country and look at the tariffs. For 300-400 rubles a month, you can bring Internet to an apartment at a speed of around 25-50 megabits per second, and for some promotion, all 100 megabits.
For comparison: in "civilized" countries, fast Internet (both home and mobile) costs an order of magnitude more expensive. And the concept of “monthly data limit” still lives there. We have this left only with cellular operators.
However, cheapness is not a reason to pay for something that you do not use. Even a hundred rubles saved warms the wallet, and therefore the tariff for home Internet must be chosen based on real speed needs. Let's figure out how many megabits per second are required in various situations, and start with basic concepts.
The data size is usually measured in bytes. For example, an HD movie weighs between 700 megabytes (megabytes) to 1.4 gigabytes (gigabytes), while Full HD is 4 to 14 gigabytes.
It is customary to indicate the data transfer rate in bits (not bytes!) Per second, and sometimes this causes misunderstanding.
Byte ≠ bit.
1 byte = 8 bits.
1 megabyte = 8 megabits.
1 megabyte per second = 8 megabits per second.
If the user does not distinguish between bytes and bits, then he can easily confuse them or take them for the same thing. In this case, it will calculate the approximate download time of an HD movie via torrent like this:
In fact, the Internet speed is 30 megabits per second = 3.75 megabytes per second. Accordingly, 1,400 megabytes should be divided not by 30, but by 3.75. In this case, the download time will be 1,400 / 3.75 = 373 seconds.
In practice, the speed will be even lower, because Internet providers indicate the speed "to", that is, the maximum possible, and not working. In addition, interference, especially when transmitting over Wi-Fi, network congestion, as well as limitations and features of user equipment and service provider equipment, all contribute. You can check your speed with , and increase it with .
Often the resource from which you download something becomes the neck. For example, your Internet speed is 100 megabits per second, and the site gives data at a speed of 10 megabits per second. In this case, the download will occur at a speed of no more than 10 megabits per second, and there is nothing to be done about it.
Obviously, the above table needs clarification.
Let's say you watch Full HD streaming video on a smart TV, your wife is surfing YouTube on a laptop with an HD screen, and your child is also watching something from a smartphone or tablet in HD quality. Does this mean that the numbers from the table need to be summed up?
Yes, absolutely right. In this case, you will need about 20 megabits per second.
There is such a thing as bitrate - the amount of information that encodes an image per unit of time, and, accordingly, a conditional indicator of picture and sound quality. The higher the bitrate, the better the image, as a rule. That is why on torrents you can find versions of the same movie with the same resolution, but different sizes.
In addition, there are ultra-smooth videos at 60 frames per second. They weigh more and require faster internet.
Yes, for most games like CS, Dota 2, WoT, WoW and even GTA 5, only one megabit per second is more than enough for multiplayer, but in this case, ping becomes decisive - the time it takes for a signal to travel from you to the game server and back. The lower the ping, the lower the delay in the game.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to know in advance even an approximate ping in a particular game through a particular provider, since its value is not constant and depends on many factors.
In this case, not only the incoming, but also the outgoing Internet speed becomes important. Often, providers do not indicate the outgoing speed in the tariff at all, but you can check it yourself using the same Speedtest.net.
For broadcasting through a webcam, an outgoing speed of 1 megabit per second is sufficient. In the case of HD cameras (and even more so Full HD), the requirements for outgoing speed increase.
Because the higher the speed, the more money you can take. Providers could keep tariffs "from the past" at a speed of 2-10 megabits per second and reduce their cost to 50-100 rubles, but why? It is much more profitable to increase the minimum speeds and prices.
