    An average of 136 MB/s in Germany? Are they sure it’s not supposed to be 136 Mbit/s, thus 17 MB/s? Because I rarely have more than 100 MB/s and I’m pretty sure my connection is one of the best you can get as a private user in this country (1 Gbit/s).

      It does say MB but i am sure they mean Mb. Atleat for norway 167 Mbps seems correct. The average is for sure not above 1gbps

      Pretty sure it’s Mbit/s. 🇬🇷 here, on a 100Mbit/s line. And yeah, the average seems to be the one stated in the pic.

      I think it’s so high because they might factor in large businesses, companies and unis, which have incredible fast connection. But I still wonder how they come up with that

          Yes, but the bits per seconds are always written as bps, while the bytes per second are always written as B/s

            Not always. Usually. If you just type MBps vs Mbps into a search engine of your choice, you’ll find quite a few sources that point out that B = Byte and b = bit.

            Also, it’s even less always since there are other ways of notating datarate. Here in Germany, for example, Mbps is usually written MBit/s and MB/s stays MB/s. Similar to kph which we write km/h. Also I‘ve seen mbps written (incorrectly) with a lower case ‘M’ and sometimes with an uppercase M.

            Technically Mb/s = Mbps ≠ MBps = MB/s, if you want to stay SI conform.

            It’s simply a metric not very well suited for all caps which can cause confusion, if you’re used to different notations.

      I wonder why Czechia data is not there. Highly doubt it’s so much worse than neighbouring countries that it is ashamed.

    I finally got Fibre at my home. 1000 up and down for 40 euro per month after the discount period. Fuck Ziggo.

    I only have between 3 and 9MB/s in the UK, and our internet speed seems is apparently pretty fast. It’s at least average.
