International broadband study

I just love this bit:

It found that the average global download speed globally was 4.75Mbps (megabits per second), while average upload speed was 1.3Mbps.

And also:

Researchers estimated that countries would need an average download speed of 11.25Mbps and an upload speed of 5Mbps in order to be comfortably placed for future applications.

Wouldn't mind having one of those Korean 1gbps lines though!

I was just about to post this in a new thread! Good thing I checked first if anyone had already...

I want to point out to everyone (read: Telkom) that SOUTH AFRICA is placed in the column labeled Broadband "BELOW needs for TODAY".

Thank you Telkom. I hate you.
