Which countries have the fastest internet speed?

 

The world’s fastest internet records a new record every day by new technologies. Various companies active in the field of technology also produce new technologies every year with huge costs to provide or develop the internet speed they need.

The internet used by ordinary people in different cities and countries of the world usually has a lower speed than that of companies.

First, we check the common internet speed in different countries and cities of the world. Next, we go to the fastest internet provided by governments and even private internet providers. stay with Dr.graphic until the end of this article.

 

The fastest mobile internet countries in the world

 

The fastest mobile internet in the world belongs to the Arab countries bordering the Persian Gulf. In addition to the Internet, these countries also have significant ranks in other global indicators.

 

The United Arab Emirates has the fastest mobile internet in the world

The UAE is one of the most advanced countries in the world in many fields. The UAE is one of the countries with the highest global rankings in the two global indices of happiness (WHR) and innovation (GII).

By 2020, the city of Dubai (the capital of the UAE) alone became the fifth tourist destination in the world. The UAE is also home to many of the world’s largest technology and technology companies. Many big companies in the world even make the initial introduction of their products and services in this country.

The high traffic of tourists and the presence of large technology companies make the issue of Internet access an important issue in this country. Currently, the emirate is at the top of the world’s fastest internet by country with an average speed of about 44 megabytes per second. In this country, a movie can be downloaded in less than a minute.

 

The second fastest internet in the world; Qatar

Qatar, like the UAE, is one of the advanced and rich Arab countries of the Persian Gulf. This country has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the world. For many years, Qatar has been the richest country in the world based on per capita income. The country of Qatar also has a very high GDP and many companies do their production in Qatar, even they have productive industries there.

The rapid growth of tourism in this country and the factors that were mentioned in the previous section have led to the existence of powerful internet in this country. With an average speed of 24 megabytes per second, Qatar is the second country with the highest mobile internet speed.

 

Kuwait is the third country among the fastest internet in the world

Kuwait is another Arab country that has occupied the first three ranks of the world’s fastest mobile internet. Kuwait is one of the most prosperous Arab countries on the Persian Gulf, and according to many international organizations, the number of people below the poverty line is zero.

Kuwait, like other Arab countries that have these first to third rankings, has a very high level of prosperity and facilities. The average mobile internet speed in Kuwait City is about 24 Mbps. In Kuwait, it takes about 25 seconds to download PUBG Mobile.

 

Countries with the fastest fixed internet in the world

 

Fixed internet in Arab countries (except the UAE) unlike mobile internet, does not have a favorable position in the global ranking. The reason for the lack of development of fixed internet can be reasons such as lack of need and acceptance of fixed internet by people. In the field of fixed internet, mainly East Asian countries are pioneers.

 

In order, the world’s fastest internet belongs to the following countries:

 

_ Singapore ranks first with a speed of about 33 MB/s

_ Hong Kong ranks second with a speed of about 32 MB/s

_ Chile ranks third with a speed of 31 MB/s

 

It should be noted that when we use the term average speed, it is generally lower than the maximum speed; Because speed is affected by outlier data.

 

Ranking of the world’s fastest internet by city (fixed and mobile)

Internet speed at the country level generally changes due to the size of the countries. For example, there are regions that have limited access to the Internet and lower the average national Internet speed and, accordingly, the global ranking of countries. One of the reasons that can affect the high ranking of Arab countries on the Persian Gulf is the small size of these countries.

According to the said article, as you would expect, Arab countries have a good ranking in the ranking of urban fixed and mobile internet in the world.

 

The fastest mobile internet in the world related to cities:

 

_ Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with a speed of 40 megabytes per second, is in the first place

_ The second place also belongs to Al-Ryan Qatar with a speed of 39 MB/s in the second place

_ The city of Abu Dhabi of the United Arab Emirates is in the third place with a speed of 34 megabytes per second

 

As you can see, the top three cities in the world in the list of the fastest mobile internet in the world belong to the same small countries that were also seen in the global ranking of countries.

 

The fastest fixed internet in the world by city:

 

_ Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, ranks first with 35 MB/s

_ The city of Beijing, China, with a speed of 34 megabytes, ranks next

_ At the end, the French city of Lyon is in the last place with a speed of about 33 MB

 

Checking the rank of Iran in the speedtest list

Iran is weaker in internet speed ranking than most of its neighbors, even Iraq. Iran has a better position in the global ranking of mobile internet than fixed internet.

Mobile internet in Iran has been ranked 75 out of 142 in the world with a speed of 4 megabytes per second.

In the fixed section, it has been ranked 153 out of 182 with a speed of 1.6 MB/s.

Before the economic problems of the last few years, Iran’s Internet had a significant progress. Currently, due to the supply of infrastructure hardware from foreign countries and the low cost of service providers, according to themselves, many operators are not only unable to improve their services and infrastructures, but if the current situation continues, The low cost of services and the high cost of infrastructure may lead to the inability to provide services at the same level.

In the fixed internet sector, according to the Minister of Communications and Information Technology, the steps of replacing and upgrading the infrastructure are underway. It has been said that all the cities of Iran will gradually be covered by optical fiber. If this plan is implemented, the speed of fixed and mobile internet in Iran will increase significantly.

 

Satellite internet speed

Satellite Internet is one of the hot topics these days. Let’s check together what speeds satellite internet offers?

The world’s fastest internet in the satellite sector belongs to NASA. In 2023, with the help of a satellite the size of a tissue box and with laser technology, NASA managed to establish an internet connection with the earth at a speed of 25 gigabytes per second and set a great record. With this speed, you can download all the content of Persian Wikipedia along with its images in less than a blink of an eye.

 

Starlink satellite internet speed

According to recent reports, Elon Musk’s satellite internet speed in the United States is about 8 megabytes. Satellite internet speed depends on factors such as: weather conditions, network traffic, technologies used and other features. One of the problems of satellite internet is its high ping compared to fixed and mobile internet, which is due to the connection with data centers located on the ground.

 

China broke the world internet speed record of the world network!

China built the fastest internet network in the world. China Mobile telecommunication company has a 3000 km long internet network, that is, enough to connect the north of Iran to the south and the east to the west. China has announced that this internet network has a speed of about 150 gigabytes per second (1.2 terabits per second).

Japan has also made significant progress in the fields of laboratories and optical fiber-based hardware. Researchers from Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communication Technology (NICT) managed to achieve a staggering speed of 3 penta bytes per second in a laboratory environment in 1402. This technology can transfer 22 times more data per second than the world’s traffic. Compared to the previous generation, which had one core for data transmission, this technology currently has 38 cores for data transmission. Japan’s laboratory technology is currently not able to be implemented, so the world’s fastest internet network belongs to China.

This company has been able to move the record of information transmission in the world several times with the help of other Japanese companies. NICT was also able to improve its record in 1403 with a speed of 50 pentabytes per second based on existing optical fibers. This number is staggering compared to the previous record. It is true that this amazing number has been recorded in data transmission, but they are only laboratory and do not have commercialization capabilities at the moment, and its technology is not affordable for general use in the Internet field.
