Any ideas. Where is the fastest[B] consumer[/B] broadband connection available?
i mean which country and its Speed ?

I don't know about specific country thought. Last summur when I visited UK (london), I noticed that 10 Mbps is really natural for them. Some operators provide around 1 Gbps. that's true

I dont think there is any reason for you to spend money on 1gbps connection unless you are going to start a webserver. 1gbps for personal use is plain bullshit.

Japan is the leader in the Internet world , UK and the US have out dates systems . In the UK the speeds are still bad .

I think you are mistaken, but feel free to correct me if you are sure, almost no consumer line, atleast no SOHO connections are above 54 mbps.

The 10 mbps or 1 gbps that you see is only the link speed between the pc and the router.

To the OP, I have heard tell, (rumors, never bothered to verify), Singapore has an average connection speed 800 times more than india. That should work out to around 400 mbps, but I assume this includes commercial connections.

EDIT: Just found that Hong Kong has residential 1 Gbps connections since 2005.

EDIT(2): Currently South Korea has max speeds of 108 mbps. The above 1 gbps is unfortunately only link speed.

Japan is the king as far as universal broad band and high speed wireless internet connections are concerned. In fact the whole of Japan is wire lessly connected through broadband internet. USA is pretty good as far as broadband is concerned.

USA considers itself backwards in terms of broadband coverage on speeds, and you consider it good, so you can deduce for yourself how bad our internet actualy is!
