Global Internet Speed Study

Global Download StudyThe average worldwide download speed is 580 Kbps. Average U.S. speeds are about 616 Kbps. South Korea has an average speed of 2.2 Mbps. In the United States, Verizon Internet Services provides the fastest service, averaging 1 Mbps.

In Great Britain, Virgin Media is the fastest choice with average speeds of 612 Kbps while Dacom Corp. takes the top spot in speedy South Korea with an average of 5.2 Mbps.

Over time, such measurements will have to reflect widespread use of wireless broadband, with generally slower speeds, though.

The study was based on 27 million downloads by 20 million computers in 224 countries from January through June 2011.
