Each country is then awarded a score from 1-10 based on how connected they are in various areas, which is totalled up at the end to form an overall rating. We should point out that their data for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> mobile speeds comes from Ookla (speedtest.net).<\/p>\n<p>Overall the USA came top with a score of 101.8 and they were particularly strong for air travel (10), internet hosts (10), roads (8.5) and tourism (8.9). However they were weaker for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> deployments (1.6) and mobile speeds (3.9). In fairness the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> ranking is actually quite good since very few countries have deployed such networks.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison the United Kingdom scored 61.3 overall and was strongest for passport power (9.7), social media users (6.8), road quality (6.5), balance of trade (5.3) and share of GDP p\/capita (5.1). But we only scored 0.6 for 5G deployments (as above this is still quite good), 0.2 for internet hosts and 3.4 for mobile speeds. In general we&#8217;re not quite sure what to make of this index, although it seems convoluted.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<colgroup>\n<col
