Internet in Brazil
The results for Brazil are discouraging, which is already expected due to the lack of infrastructure and the lack of encouragement of governments and institutions for improvements on the internet throughout the country.
Considering the July 2017 ranking, for the Internet fixed Brazil occupies 72nd place, with averaging averaging 16.42 MBs , behind countries such as Puerto Rico (46), Uruguay (58), Mongolia (59) and Armenia (68). On the internet fixes the result is even worse, where we ranked 76th, with an average download of 14.91 MBs , behind Ecuador (64), Peru (71) and Iran (74).
Mobile internet
The countries with the best mobile internet connection are: Norway with average download speed at 52.49 MBs, Netherlands with 46.94 MBs and Hungary with 46.24 MBs.
Fixed internet
For fixed internet, other countries stand out, first Singapore with an average connection speed of 154.38 MBs, second South Korea with 125.69 MBs and third Hong Kong with 117.21 MBs.
As ranking data shows, unfortunately we still have a lot to evolve as to the quality of internet in Brazil. First investing in better communication infrastructure and networks and then incentives for companies and providers to invest in offering better connectivity services for companies and homes.
