HK's internet speed fastest in the world; SG ranked 10th

[Confuseous]

According to an article by Pingdom, an internet monitoring service provider, Hong Kong offers the fastest internet connection in the world with an impressive 54.1 Mbps.

The data, obtained from Akamai, a global cloud platform also showed that Iran offers the slowest internet connection. Singapore is ranked 10th at 30.7 mbps.

Pingdom notes of the following important key takeaways from the study:
• In the latest quarter, Hong Kong (54.1 Mbps) has increased its lead over South Korea (48.8 Mbps).
• Of the current top five countries, it’s only Japan that has been able to pass Hong Kong and South Korea in the chart since 2007.
• Hong Kong and South Korea have been rather lonely at the top, widening the gap to the other countries since the third quarter 2011.
• The United States has dropped down to 14th place in the latest quarter, and added here just for reference.
• None of the big European countries, like France, Germany and United Kingdom, made the top five list. United Kingdom, currently in 16th place with an average peak connection speed of 28.1 Mbps, has the highest ranking of the three.

Why is it that my DL speed gets really slow at night, and much faster in the afternoon?

10th? I think not. Feels like 45th in the world.

Give me a break. Singapore Internet speed should be ranked the equivalent of the Braddell Press - 154th. Seriously.

That is a symptom, not a cause.

The cause is your telco (all telcos and the IDA in cahoots) being stingy with bandwidth and milking you dry.

Fast internet speed is for people with no actual life outside their homes. Eventually when the world gets more over populated, people will long for the great outdoors in say a 100 years from now.
