When it comes to broadband
https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/...gascar-3504857
According to the survey, compiled by Cable.co.uk on the basis of data collected by M-Lab, Singapore was the world’s fastest broadband country for the second year running, with average speeds of 60.39Mbps. Yemen came last with an average speed of 0.31Mbps.
Global broadband average speed rose from 7.4Mbps to 9.1Mbps in the 12 months to the end of May, up 23%.
The UK scored an average of 18.57Mbps, putting it 35th in the overall ranking and 26th among European countries. The UK was in the bottom third of EU member states.
Not a third world country then
The term "Third World Country" is not an economic measurement as such, it refers to any country that is not a member of NATO or the old Warsaw Pact.
Interesting and not only ridiculous but typical!
I would have replied earlier but only just got your message.
Are we getting clickbait on CCMB now?
I predict we'll move out of being ranked in the lower 3rd of EU Countries very soon.
That report is quite misleading too, doing a Speedtest is one small test of downloading/uploading a file from/to a single server to a single device.
There are so many variables in play when it comes to your broadband speed. Whether you use Wi-fi or are hard-wired to your router, contention ratio on your connection to the exchange, speed of your backhaul connections, distance from your exchange (for adsl/vdsl), the time of day etc. etc.
I don’t imagine they are comparing like for like.
