Which country has the fastest internet?
Test your internet speed: www.speedtest.net/
People all over the world use the internet everyday, with our speeds varying based on where we’re connecting from. But which country has the fastest internet speeds? That’s what we’re going to answer in this video.
Please do subscribe if you haven’t already. It really helps this small channel grow.
We’re going to look at the top 3 countries for internet speed based on the median speed in the country as reported by speedtest.net in march 2024. The service measures the throughput and latency (connection delay) of an Internet connection against one of over 16,000 geographically dispersed servers to calculate the connection speed.
The country with the 3rd fastest internet speeds is Chile with a median speed of 265 Mbps. These impressive speeds are due in part to The National Fiber Optic Plan which was announced by Chilean government in 2019. The plan has involved significant public investment and subsidies, which are meant to encourage private companies to invest in building networks in rural and remote areas. The government provides financial support for the initial infrastructure costs, making it more feasible for telecom providers to operate in low-demand areas. Chile is also helped by unique geography. Since the country is long but narrow, developing a linear infrastructure for fibre optic cables is more straightforward than in countries with large, sprawling landmasses. The fibre optic cables can be laid along the central spine of the country, often parallel to major roads, connecting major cities, towns, and remote areas with relatively fewer branches. The narrow width of Chile means that most of the population is close to the central communication routes. As a result, even people in rural areas are often not far from the fibre optic backbone, reducing the need for extensive local infrastructure. This has enabled the fibreoptic rollout to be far quicker in Chile than most other countries.
The country with second fastest internet speeds is the united arab emirates with a median speed of 276 Mbps. These high speeds again come down to geography and government investment as a large portion of its fairly small population of 9 million live in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The immense wealth of the uae government allowed them to get in early on their fibre optic rollout and in 2011 Abu Dhabi became the world’s first capital city to be fully covered by a fibre optic network.
The country with the fastest median internet speeds Singapore with a speed of 284 Mbps. Singapore is a compact city-state, which makes it easier and more cost-effective to deploy high-speed internet infrastructure compared to larger, more geographically spread-out countries. The dense population and limited land area mean that internet service providers can cover a vast percentage of the population with fewer resources than would be required in a larger nation. A government-led project known as Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network begun in 2009. The goal was to provide Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) services to 95% of households and businesses by 2012, offering speeds of up to 1 Gbps and beyond. By 2013, Singapore had already achieved near-universal fiber optic coverage and as of 2024 has highest fibre optic coverage of any country in the world.
As we can see from the top 3 countries we’ve looked at, government funding and geography play a huge role in a country’s internet speeds. How do your internet speeds compare to the ones we’ve looked at? Ill leave a link to the speed testing service that provided the data for this video in the description if you’d like to compare.

Dangers of Public USB Ports (Juice Jacking)
This video could have been a simple comparison table
For photographic editing/analysis or aerial photo interpretation - at the current time the Display Port has (and still does) provide a more accurate color rendition than HDMI (even with the 2.1 carrying dynamic metadata properties, which was an early-days feature of Display Port). The user must have the monitor set for meeting those objectives of color clarity/accuracy rendition. Most users do may not require this observational perspective ; nevertheless, a standard user can sometimes be thrown off if color adjustments are made via some standard photo editing softwares and a notable difference may be encountered with the resulting print.
I use 3-2-1 backup but its really cumbersome to manage. Im starting to realize, no one in the world has implemented a backup system for which data is impossible to be lost. If a company lost its data, that's a rap for them. No easy automated standard system, RAID is not a backup protocol its just an improvisation. Another big problem with cloud databackup is that storage companies have complete access to your data if they wish to snoop, lock or remove it.
There’s a monitor that says it can do 1440p at 240hz but only has a hdmi 2.0 port but can it achieve that?
Asymmetry irks me.
The important difference is that DisplayPort came out about three years too late, the Playstation 3 and XBox 360 had already been developed with HDMI as it was the only real high bandwidth digital connector of its kind from 2003-2006, and while Apple used DisplayPort in its devices very early on, it didn't catch on much at all until 2011-2012, where it picked up in workstation machines, and then only really started showing up in co sumer hardware in 2015. It didn't even show up in workstation monitors until after it had already become the standard for consumer hardware, those kept on with VGA and DVI up until about 2019. But I think DP is the better connector in the long term, and will probably be the end one of the last format wars we have going on as HDMI has really fallen out of favor in anything outside of conoles, TVs, and cable DVRs, currently often still included but as a checkbox more than a main connector, eg. three DPs and one HDMI on many video cards now.
There is now a new video on DP that shows some flaws that are not mentioned. They are not so much flaws of the standard as they are flaws of the institution responsible for the standard or lack thereof. Apparently the new 2.0 standard allows all kinds of performances which means you are unlikely to get better performance by switching to 2.0 even if you somehow magically find supported matching hardware. Which is a win for HDMI. Sadly.
Display Port > HDMI
I think everything from now on should use that one dp port that also supports hdmi (idk what exactly it's called, I've seen it on youtube), because there are way too many things with hdmi now to just change it to dp only ports, and the new standard for devices should be dp, since it's overall better and less expensive than hdmi
I came here for a boxing match. 0/10
I’m surprised by how much effective DisplayPort is compared to HDMI. 80gb?! 4k 240hz and 8k 120hz?!?! Is there any reason why they aren’t as utilized for other products, like consoles, or most computers?
Can display port 2.1 get 240 hz at 1440p?
what's with the ignorant clowns commenting that DP doesn't carry audio? have they even used a DP cable in the last 10 years?
All the consumer arguments are largely moot. DP is used largely in enterprise networks and equipment. It's not a matter of choice. Use HDMI at home and stop worrying about it, unless you are a tech geek and won't be the idiot showing up with equipment using the wrong cables (my reality whenever ANYONE sets up a presentation in halls without communicating with IT 1st)
Franecki Lodge
DisplayPort is better, end of story, due to all of the technical advantages you detailed in the video. "Found on a wider range of devices" isn't a competitive advantage for HDMI. Does someone purchase an HDMI cable and then start shopping for components with an HDMI port?
Looks like HDMI and DP are electrically compatible. On my video card I have four DP ports and an adapter from DP to HDMI. A standard monitor with HDMI input works nice.
So where does Mini DisplayPort come into all this? What’s the difference besides more compact? Is there any quality loss?
Former isp tech for whatever reason I tend to get faster results on a 5.0 ghz band vs 6.0 when im next to the moden .
Display Port has a latch system that holds the connector in place avoiding unwanted disconnections while HDMI lacks such system.
i have a 280hz monitor but recently it went black one day and when it started working again it only caps at 144hz (i used to have it at 240) i would use a display port for it but im not sure what type it was do I need to get a new displayport or do you have an idea on what the problem might be?
i have a 3060 but might upgrade to a 4060 or 4060ti soon

Not sure what this means
If you plan on using a KVM go HDMI. Decent Display Port KVM's are very expensive.
HDMI is for TVs DPI are for gaming. :P Seriously Display port offers a higher quality display image if you care to do 8k and 12k gaming it's slightly better then HDMI at 4k too
Nice video
Replaced my aging computer a short bit ago, and it came with one HDMI and three display ports. My montiors only eat HDMI, so there was a bit of a problem. But just a bit, since there's snazzy adapters that cost three bucks and work perfectly well. Still, I think if I need to replace my monitors, I'll look for display port connections.
I don't know why but 3D movies released after 2015 are basically 2D movies .. We don't get that pop out effect anymore😢
HDMI is proprietary, and the consortium controlling it will not permit high bandwidth open source Linux drivers to be developed to support the interface. Use DisplayPort for your 4k needs.
5 is old tech. Get 6E 😮
I've had better experience with DisplayPort. It has been more reliable.
15mbps - Nairobi, Kenya
Hopefully that’ll improve in the coming years, are there any plans for fibre optic rollout there?

IMO Type C connectors will become the standard before display port gets widely used.
Yeah I think you’re probably correct

@@techindex1 some dox bots going on in youtube, they try to find hidden words in channels to gather info (for example, if a popular youtuber doesn't want his grandma to call her full name in the comment section, the youtuber can filter their name off the comments and they'll be removed) bots can abuse this to detect names or special info

Never used it personally, from Microsoft store it’s less likely to be but you’d need to do some research online to confirm
@@techindex1 ok thanks
How do your internet speeds compare to the top 3?
Kenya Here. 15mbps
important to mention that the vast majority of hdmi cables sold on internet is 4k 30Hz, it should be called hdmi 1.4 and if you don't see any description in the product page then it's 1.4
Yes, a very good point
Are DVDs good long term storage options? Or should I go for HDD/SSD?
Would go with SSD but would also keep a copy on atleast one other storage medium as a backup
Can DisplayPort 1.4 do 1080p 480hz ?
Unfortunately not
@@techindex1 thank you
The way you say HDMI is just wrong and I had to downvote the video just for that.
Hopefully you atleast found the information useful!
@@techindex1 didn't watch the video. Hated the pronunciation too much.
My complaint is when PC manufacturers swap back and forth between HDMI och DisplayPort which causes tons of issues. HP I'm looking at you.
Yes I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed this 😂 consistency would be very useful!
they could make display port like usb c so you can turn it both ways...
That would be great!
That would be very useful
Does Display port convert to HDMI without any downfalls over using HDMI directly?
Yes but will be limited by the specs of the cable used
Something els to disable in my phone.
