The 2022 Internet Accessibility Index has just been published by comparison site Broadband Choices, which ranks 164 countries and territories on the quality of their broadband and mobile infrastructure to find the world\u2019s most connected countries. Overall, the United Kingdom managed to jump from 6th to 4th place this year.<\/p>\n

The accessibility index<\/a> attempts to score based on ten different ranking factors, such as fixed line broadband speeds, the price and affordability of internet packages (excluding business broadband and bundle deals), the cost of mobile data (per 1GB) on SIM Only plans, the percentage of the population with access to the internet, mobile data (4G<\/a> \/ 5G<\/a>) coverage, the number of public WiFi<\/a> hotspots and the percentage of webpages by national language etc.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> In terms of affordability, the study appears to weight some of its scoring by the average (median) salary for each country in $ USD (i.e. the cost of the average monthly broadband deal as a percentage of median household salary), which is a good thing.<\/div>\n

Denmark continued to hold the top spot this year, thanks to its strong broadband speeds and affordability scores, among other things. By comparison the UK ranked an impressive 4th place (up from 6th last year) thanks, at least in part, to a good level of affordability. But despite this, the UK’s average download speed was still frustratingly low at 23Mbps (up from 20.06Mbps last year) – well below the results from Ofcom<\/a> (here<\/a>) and Ookla (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The full results don\u2019t show how each country scored for every single category, so it\u2019s hard to know where the UK’s other positive results came from, but we probably do well for public WiFi<\/a> availability, general internet availability and the percentage of webpages by national language may be disproportionately high for English as a global standard.<\/p>\n

We should add that any speed testing based reports should always be taken with a pinch of salt because they can easily be misinterpreted or overlook key factors. In particular, nobody should be equating such studies to directly reflect the availability of faster connections as the two are far from being aligned (i.e. not everybody takes a faster connection, even when it’s available).<\/p>\n

Lest we forget the impact of other factors, such as poor home wiring, as well as the customer’s own choice of package, local network congestion (e.g. conducting a test while other users or background tasks are active) and slow WiFi<\/a> etc.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> We\u2019ve only pasted the top 50 countries below. See the full index for more.<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
