Every year, a company called Akamai Technologies makes a list of the average Internet speed of countries around the world. They gather the data from different countries and then make a list according to that data to show which countries have a fast internet connection.
Many of you might be thinking about the USA that it will have the fastest Internet speed in the whole world as it is one of the best countries in the world for a lot of reasons, but the internet isn’t one of them.
In fact, the USA ranks about 17 in the list worldwide, not even making the top 10 list. The main reason behind this is that in Mountain and Central Regions of the USA, there isn’t much of the population and only some communities live there surrounded by miles of wide open space.
