It is really frustrating when the internet is not getting connected or when the connection works really slow almost second to not having any access at all. But according to Digital Trends, the recent Akamai State of the Internet report shows which countries have the fastest internet speed and mentions the slowest too. South Korea is the country with the fastest internet speed with 17.5 Mbps.

To understand what that means, here is an example. A full-length could be downloaded within 30 minutes and a song downloads in less than 3 minutes and 30 seconds. In contrast to South Koreans are states like Cuba which connect with the speed under 300kbps. The U.S. has an average connection speed of 5.8 Mbps.
