hmmm.. that’s not completely true, there a huge difference between bandwidth and speed “concept wise”, and adjudging the performance of the internet based on “speed” is not accurate at all,
if you are concerned about the time it takes you to reach a specific IP or domain “like opining a site maybe”, you should consider where that IP/server is located, and through which international upstream/downstream path is it going through, these are all main factors for determining what people might call “speed”, i guess the IETF should start taking that concept seriously from now on since everyone is using it this way 🙂
ooh, bandwidth is the amount of data that can be carried from one point to another in a given time period “second” and is usually expressed in bits 😛
Lebanon has the 14th slowest internet in the world!
Mark… on a side note: Red Bull Flugtag is back in September. Are you secretly preparing your weapon?
After not getting enough support from Renault F1 the last time around we are currently in the final stages of a technology swap deal with the McLaren Group.
What does that mean? Probably just getting new rotating wheels from Ace Hardware for 500 fils :~))
Whats up with telephone lines in Salwa? I have been trying to get a line for over two years and it just does not seem to happen. Any news of the fiber optic cables that the M.O.C installed?
So if Gulfnet says they are giving you a 4 Mbps line for KD 311/-, they are basically bull shitting you right!
Keith, this is the average connection speed in Kuwait based on people from Kuwait who’ve run their speed test. It’s not the max connection speed available in Kuwait.
one thing is for sure in Kuwait–> going from worse to worst
mis-managing everything. we can’t even build a freaking stadium nor a new hospital without messing it up……..
@ B_G_T_R
The problem is not that we can’t build it, the problem is that there is way too much corruption and shit gets done wrong on purpose just to extend the length of the contract and to suck money out of people and it’s all sponsored by our fine kuwaiti men in the governments.
Anyways, I’m not surprised that Korea is 1st. Them and Japan are way ahead of any other country’s internet telecommunications. I was expecting Kuwait to be under the 100s. Horrible service, constant black outs, and super high prices for super slow internet speeds.
Serbia?! I thought they were the kings of internet.
Fast, unblocked, US internet and a cold beer….ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Yea…these are the average speeds. I was in Sofia, Bulgaria, a couple of months ago, I was downloading stuff at 50Mbps. Yea actual download speed was 50mbps. Weeks worth of downloads were done in a matter of minutes.
#1. South Korea??? WTH???
lensman thats because the Internet head quarters is based in South Korea.
Wait the Internet has a headquarter? Way to go Internet 😛
KaLeedDo of course!
Here is a video explaining the Internet (Taken from The IT Crowd)
2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003
30 replies on “Kuwat Internet Speed vs The World”
I think this is the average right?
Wooohooo we’re better than Bermuda.
