On a related note, here’s a useful infographic detailing which countries and cities have the fastest internet download speeds:

South Korea comes out tops with a white-hot average of 2,202 kbps and Congo is at the bottom at a mere 13 kbps.
China’s average download speed is only 245 kbps, ranking it 82nd worldwide.
I’m guessing there’s substantial variation across China, far more than other countries. Would be interesting to see an international city comparison – NY, Helsinki, Buenos Aires, London, Beijing.
