Just for fun: let's take a reasonably snappy connection (I am using a modest 1 Gb connection here as an example), and do a little speedtest world tour.
These results are by no means canonical – Internet weather does change from hour to hour. However: it might not be a total waste of time to ponder... um... like, "should I get this fancy new 1 Gb [home] connection, or would 200 Mb be enough? Or should I save the money and make do with the basic 40 Mb connection? Would I even notice the difference most of the time?"
Seat belts fastened? Takeoff:
The friendly neighbourhood server (< 10 km away)

Some North American servers:
China, Hong Kong & the Philippines:

Blimey Urmas I wish I could get speeds like that. We moved to here and connected to BT and all we could get was 0.3Mb/s so I now have wireless internet and that varies betewn 3Mb/s to 10Mb/s. seems to be affected by the weather.
