In due time, the net is expected to get even faster.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Finland<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>If we put the United States on the list, we definitely have to put Finland, because they have the same connection speed. They currently have a connection of 7.7 Mbps.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The Netherlands<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you live in the Netherlands, you have a faster connection that the USA and Finland. Their connection speed is currently 9.6 Mbps \u2013 isn\u2019t that amazing?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Switzerland<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Switzerland has a connection speed that is slightly higher than those in The Netherlands. Switzerland currently has a speed of 10.06 Mbps.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Latvia<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Is it hard to believe that the connection speed in Latvia is higher than the one in the United States? Currently, their connection speed is nesting at 9.8 Mbps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Top Three Countries Based on Internet Speed and Surroundings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Hong Kong<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hong Kong should definitely be on the list. They currently have a connection speed that averaged 9.3 Mbps.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Singapore<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Singapore is one of our favorites due to the super fast connection speed. They have an average of 30.07 Mbps. Due to this fast, Singapore has been labeled a \u201ctech hub.\u201d Do you know Eduardo Saverin? He is a well known techie \u2013 he co-founded Facebook. He renounced his U.S. citizenship and moved to Singapore. Yes, the Internet is obviously better in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Israel<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, Israel has super fast Internet connections. Currently, the company averages at 30.9 Mbps.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Bulgaria<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Bulgaria has been marketing itself as an amazing destination for global investors and companies. The Internet speed is another selling point. They currently have a speed of 32.1 Mbps.<\/p>\n<p>So, what do you think? Would you give up your citizenship to the United States and move to Singapore, Israel or Bulgaria to enjoy the 30.07 Mbps? Many people, like Eduardo Saverin have already done it and if your job revolves around the tech world, why not? Did these Internet connection speeds surprise you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update Q3 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1385\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1385 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016_Internetspeed.jpg\" alt=\"2016_Internet speed\" width=\"960\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016_Internetspeed.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016_Internetspeed-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016_Internetspeed-512x365.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016_Internetspeed-920x656.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016_Internetspeed-211x150.jpg 211w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Reference: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electronicproducts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.electronicproducts.com\/<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Of course, a very large number of consumers experience speeds well in excess of these numbers.
