At the end of 2008, approximately 19 per cent Internet connections around the world were at speeds greater than 5 Mbps — a 21 per cent increase over the average global connection speed at the end of 2007. This is according to the State of the Internet report, a quarterly study by Akamai Technologies, the US-based Internet content distribution giant. The State of the Internet report tracks average connection speeds for countries around the world. Check out the top 10 nations in terms of average Internet connection speed.

We’re going to list down top 10 countries with high speed internet connection. “World is Small.. Internet has made it even more smaller”. We keep hearing that millions and billions of people are getting introduced to internet everyday, and millions more are becoming full time income earners over internet. But the ultimate question that enters everyone’s mind in this world is what are the top nation with the internet connection. Its not necessary that a country has to be rich in order to be the top 1 place holder among the list of top 10 countries with high speed internet connection.

Here is the top 10 internet with regard to High speed internet connection.

1 South Korea - 15 mbps

2 Japan - 7 mbps

3 Hong Kong - 6.9 mbps

4 Romania - 5.7 mbps

5 Sweden - 5.6 mbps

6 Switzerland - 5.1 mbps

7 Netherlands - 4.9 mbps

8 Belgium - 4.7 mbps

9 Solvakia - 4.5 mbps

10 Norway - 4.5 mbps

South Korea rules supreme when it comes to Internet connection speed and broadband connectivity. It is the world’s No.1 with average connection speed of 15 Mbps, ten times the global average! and it is surely to stand first among the top 10 countries with high speed internet connection.

During 2008, South Korea’s rate of quarterly change appeared to be locked into a cyclical pattern, with quarterly decreases being recorded in the first and third quarters, and increases seen in the second and fourth quarters.

For the whole year, South Korea saw a modest 7 per cent rise in their levels of high broadband adoption. South Korea is also ranked first in terms of high broadband connectivity with 69 per cent connections above 5 Mpbs.

South Korea, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway had more high broadband IP’s per capita than in the prior quarter. This is consistent with what would be expected from the initiatives to bring higher speed connectivity, including fibre to the home (FTTH) efforts, to consumers in these countries.

A wireless ad hoc network is a decentralized wireless network.The network is ad hoc because each node is willing to forward data for other nodes, and so the determination of which nodes forward data is made dynamically based on the network connectivity. This is in contrast to wired networks in which routers perform the task of routing. It is also in contrast to managed (infrastructure) wireless networks, in which a special node known as an access point manages communication among other nodes.

The earliest wireless ad hoc networks were the “packet radio” networks (PRNETs) from the 1970s, sponsored by DARPA after the ALOHAnet project.

To set up an ad-hoc wireless network, each wireless adapter must be configured for ad-hoc mode versus the alternative infrastructure mode. In addition, all wireless adapters on the ad-hoc network must use the same SSID and the same channel number.

An ad-hoc network tends to feature a small group of devices all in very close proximity to each other. Performance suffers as the number of devices grows, and a large ad-hoc network quickly becomes difficult to manage. Ad-hoc networks cannot bridge to wired LANs or to the Internet without installing a special-purpose gateway.

Ad hoc networks make sense when needing to build a small, all-wireless LAN quickly and spend the minimum amount of money on equipment. Ad hoc networks also work well as a temporary fallback mechanism if normally-available infrastructure mode gear (access points or routers) stop functioning.
