Average Internet speeds around the world

Japan: $0.27/Mbps
Average connection speed: 61 Mbps.
61 Mbps connection cost = 0.27*61 = $16.47 for a 61 Mbps connection!!! woow :p

and here it's like 120000LL per mb _ _'

times like these... I'd seriously let japan take control of Lebanon just to fix it than leave...

that's it, im moving to japan

Oh mighty Japan, if learning Hiragana or Katakana gets me to the great land of Nihon, then I'm definitely down. For the sake of average speed of 61Mbps and great culture.

South Korea is still the number 1 country with the fastest internet country and Japan in 11 spot, i don't know if it's an old report ?

Yeah it's kind of old.

Gotta love Lebanon's position :)

I think that these tests don't measure the service of the ministry. they measure a ratio: the service of the ministry divided by the internet savyness (or internet demand) of the population. Our government has very weak infrastructure relative to what the Lebanese want to use, hence our networks are overloaded hence the worst speed in the world.

My brother was in Korea last fall--a couple of days after he got there, he ran speedtest and copied it and sent it to his family and friends in Lebanon (just to get a reaction out of them)---128 megs down and 65 up, for $30 a month. :o

He could download a TV show torrent (350 meg) in less than a minute and a Hi def version of the same show in less time than he could finish a cigarette.
