How's That U.S. Broadband Working For You?
The U.S. fell further behind in world broadband according to the latest OECDlinks (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) survey. The report rated the U.S. 15th out of 30 countries. The U.S. has continued to drop since the survey was first collected in 2001 when the United States ranked 4th.

Number one is South Korea, while the U.S. lags countries such as Canada and Belgium. The report ranks countries on three primary factors - broadband penetration, average broadband speed and broadband price.

South Korea topped broadband penetration with access available to 90% of the population. The U.S. broadband adoption rate of 51% was average among all countries. South Korea, which has widely deployed fiber, topped the average speed at 45 MB/s. The U.S. average speed of 5 MB/s was below average. The U.S. price of $3 per 1 MB/s bandwidth was better than most countries but not even close to Japan's price of $.27.
