Hong Kong has cheapest broadband in the world
If you fancy the cheapest broadband in the world you need to pack your bags and move to Hong Kong or Romania…
The latest research by Point Topic show that people living in Hong Kong pay as little as US$0.028 per megabit for fixed broadband, the lowest price in the world, in a close second comes Romania. Yes, we were surprised too.
The UK and US are way down the list, and come in at 24th and 30th respectively, out of 71 countries analysed.
The top 10 list is dominated by countries in Europe and Asia, thanks in part to the fact that they have spent a lot of resources on their broadband infrastructures, said Fiona Vanier, senior analyst at Point Topic, which is based in London.
