South Korea downloads their games fastest |

For a country who considers online gaming as a national sport, with people willing to jump off buildings for their online characters, this news doesn't really come as a surprise.
According to Pando Networks, research, South Korea ranks the number one country in terms of speed in downloading games. Based on their data gathered from January to June 2011, from 27 million downloads by 20 million computers in 224 countries, South Korea's average speed is at 2,202KBps.
The following countries take runner-up spots to South Korea:

- Romania (1,909KBps)
- Bulgaria (1,611KBps)
- Lithuania (1,462KBps)
- Latvia (1,377KBps)
- Ukraine (1,190KBps)
So where does North America stand? Surprisingly, a bit farther down the line, with the US clocking in a speed rate of 616KBps, and Canada registering 579KBps.
Said Robert Levitan, Pando Networks' CEO,of their findings, "The disparities we found were striking. While, in general, developed economies outpaced the developing world in average download speeds, big names such as the US, UK, France, china and Canada were not even close to being the fastest."
That is a surprising turnout, considering that the assumption is that first world countries will have the superior technological infrastructure. Then again, they're not mutually exclusive, so it appears.
While south Korea's basking in the top spot for this particular study, their Northern counterpart was recently involved in serious allegations that North Korea is stealing money from MMOs through hired hackers.

I was about to say I must be some kind of wizard because I had Verizon not too long ago and the speed at their lowest FiOS package weighed in just below 3000KBps.
And a couple of my wealthier friends clocked in around 5-6000KBps.
Hell their highest internet plan could get you 19,200KBps.
I'd venture to say South Korea is the one that really needs to catch up.
