why is the internet speed different by country?
In: 0
So the internet isn’t really…a thing that just exists. It’s the idea of hooking computers up to each other so they can talk.
So the better all those computers are hooked up, the faster they can talk to each other. That’s all a bunch of infrastructure that is really not cheap to build and set up. For example, the US tends to spend 10s of billions of dollars each year developing this infrastructure.
Certain countries have done a better or worse job on this. The two biggest factors for that are how rich the country is (richer countries can afford to do more) and how dense the country is (dense countries mean you simply need fewer wires and towers and what not).
