    Dealing with slow internet access can be painful. Waiting for web pages to load, waiting for photos to upload to social media, waiting for music and movies to download. Too much waiting. However, things could be a lot worse. If you lived in Libya, Nepal or Nigeria, chances are, you’d have internet no faster than dial-up.

    So, where in the world do you get the slowest internet? And where do you get the world’s fastest internet? Let’s take a look at some figures provided by Akamai Technologies.

    Top 10 countries with the world’s fastest internet

    According to Akamai, the global average connection speed in the second quarter of 2013 was 3.3 Mbps, while the global average peak connection speed was 18.9 Mbps.

    Top 10 countries with the world’s slowest internet

    Now we’ve seen the fastest, let’s look at the slowest.

    1. Libya

    With only one ISP (LTT), Libya tops the list of countries with the world’s slowest internet, with 52% of the total population accessing speeds below 256Kbps.

    Located in South East Asia, Nepal has had internet access since 1995, but only 1% of the entire population had access to it until 2005. Nepal comes in second on the world’s slowest internet list.

    3. Nigeria

    Number three on the list is Nigeria, with 31% of the population accessing internet speeds below 256Kbps.
