World broadband speed ranking list where our country stands? Ask anyone who browse internet what is the important thing for browsing experience? the answer would definitely be "internet speed", it was the early days in 2000 when i was using dial-up to browse the internet 5 - 10kbps speed was something great to us anything more than that was a bumper offer i still remember i used to wait 1 - 2 hrs to download a 10mb mp3 file and it was in 2005 i got my first BSNL broadband connection i was really amazed by the speed at which websites was opening because now i could browse 5 to 10 times the speed than dial-up connection with speed something in between 30 - 60kbps though this speed was very much enough to browse the web pages i started to feel the limitation and shortcomings of it from early 2007 with the popularity of youtube and other video streaming sites because to see a decent 5 - 10 minutes video clip there was 10's of pauses in between... but one thing annoyed me very much is my offshore colleagues always used to say they were able to download 4gigs of file in just 3 to 4 hours where in india for us to download same file it takes almost 1 or 2 days flat this made me search what is the speed of internet offered worldwide when compared to india and got a interesting information in speedtest.net portal and it is said that the test result was taken with connections used in colleges and corporations below is the list of countries and their broadband speed really below list makes you head spin...
