The\u00a02018 Worldwide Broadband Speed League unveils where broadband speed is best.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

163 million broadband speed tests conducted across 200 countries reveal\u00a0Singapore is the world\u2019s fastest country for the second year running, according to\u00a0the Worldwide broadband speed league 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0country’s\u00a0vibrant digital economy and diminutive landmass offer significant advantages when it comes to infrastructural development and FTTP (pure fibre) availability, giving it\u00a0the highest average internet connection speed in 2018.<\/p>\n

Sweden, who has decided to focus on FTTP (pure fibre), has given around 60% of Swedish homes and businesses access to speeds of up to 1Gbps (1,000Mbps). This is why it follows Singapore.<\/p>\n

In Denmark, ranked 3rd on the index,\u00a0FTTP (pure fibre) connections are available to more than half of Danish homes and businesses, providing extremely fast speeds and excellent future-proofing.<\/p>\n

At #4 is Norway, who has also decided to focus on FTTP, giving 40% of its population the access to pure fiber.<\/p>\n

Romania ranks 5th in the world by broadband internet speed in 2018 with an average of 38.6 Mbps measured in the last 12 months.<\/p>\n

The five fastest countries have download speeds around 88 times faster than the five slowest.<\/p>\n

The countries in the world with the slowest broadband internet speed are Yemen (0.31 Mbps), East Timor (0.49 Mbps) and Turkmenistan (0.56 Mbps).<\/p>\n<\/div>
