Meanwhile the UK saw its performance rise by 5.5% to top 9.9Mbps, making us the 15th fastest country (down from 13th in Q4-2013), but most still aren&#8217;t ready for\u00a04K video streams.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The report also found that 80% of broadband users in the United Kingdom experienced broadband download speeds of <strong>above 4Mbps<\/strong> (up from 79% in Q4-2013), while 32% were able to receive speeds of <strong>10Mbps+<\/strong> (up from 30%) and 17% managed <strong>15Mbps+<\/strong>. Meanwhile the country\u2019s top peak speed reached 42.2Mbps, which is actually down slightly from 43.5Mbps at the end of last year.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>David Belson, Report Author, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>While there continues to be room for improvement in high broadband adoption and average peak connection speeds in some areas of the world, the trends we\u2019re seeing remain very positive. Steady year-over-year growth suggests that a strong, global foundation is being built for the enjoyment of next generation content and services like 4K video and increasingly connected homes and offices, and that connectivity will continue to evolve to support the growing demands these emerging technologies will place on the Internet<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The results mean that the majority of people in the United Kingdom will fall short of Akamai&#8217;s <strong>4K Readiness<\/strong> metric (i.e. the 15Mbps+ speeds proportion) for <strong>Ultra High Definition TV<\/strong> (UHDTV) and video, at least they would when using Akamai&#8217;s servers as these results do not reflect general end-user connectivity. Akamai claims that most 4K streams require between 10-20Mbps of bandwidth, which is supported by Netflix (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2014\/05\/netflix-uk-confirm-gbp6-99-price-rise-talk-broadband-speeds-4k.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>As for Mobile Broadband, average <strong>mobile connection speeds<\/strong> ranged from 1.0Mbps in Argentina to 14.7Mbps in South Korea. By comparison the United Kingdom scored an average of <strong>5.6Mbps<\/strong> (with a peak speed of 34.6Mbps) and approximately 53% of UK connections were able to get speeds above 4Mbps. The figures will naturally rise as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> availability and performance improves.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere nobody, not even <strong>Japan<\/strong> or the <strong>Netherlands<\/strong>, seems able to get close to front-runner <strong>South Korea<\/strong> which, thanks largely to their national 1Gbps capable <strong>Fibre-to-the-Home<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>) style infrastructure, reported average download speeds of 23.6Mbps (up from 21.9Mbps last quarter). Many of the other top countries also benefit from a similar network but consumer package and speed choice, among many other things (traffic management, CDN limits etc.), can impact the results.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2014-internet-statistics\/akamai_q1_2014_average_global_internet_download_speeds.gif\" alt=\"akamai_q1_2014_average_global_internet_download_speeds\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Akamai&#8217;s report also includes an overview of performance in <strong>Europe, the Middle East and Africa<\/strong> (EMEA), which places the United Kingdom around mid-table.
