Where should you travel if you want the best Internet connection in the world? A new report says you should book a ticket straight to South Korea.
The East Asian nation topped a ranking of countries by their communications infrastructure released Monday. The ranking, which comes by way of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), tracks a variety of metrics to come up with a benchmark for measuring telecom developments across countries.
South Korea, which also led the ITU's list back in 2010, is considered by many to be home to the fastest Internet connections in the world.
Coming in second and third place are Denmark and Iceland, respectively. The United States, meanwhile, is sitting in fifteenth place, a one-place improvement from five years ago.

The Finnish deal means that from 1 July 2010, all telecommunications companies will be obliged to provide all residents with broadband lines that can run at a minimum 1Mbps speed.

High-speed Internet access is the standard both at work and at home in Finland. Service is absolutely reliable, and ISP subscription rates are reasonable. The Broadband for All 2015 project ensured that virtually all residences, businesses and public administration establishments are located within 2 km of a 100+ Mb/s broadband network.Unlike many countries there are rarely data restrictions on fixed network usage in Finland; you can download an unlimited amount with no "excess" fees or reduction in connection speeds. This is not always the case with mobile network usage, but unlimited data packages are increasingly common. Use of wireless data on smartphones is rapidly increasing.Finland's population of about 5.5 million has about 7.6 million mobile broadband subscriptions, and about 28% of Finnish households use mobile broadband as their only internet connection.

By the way according to wiki. I do not know the twitter claim is true.

The use of the Internet in Iceland places Iceland among the top countries in the world in terms of Internet deployment and use. The use of internet in Iceland is widespread.Iceland is a world leader in fibre internet deployment: As of 2016, 75% of homes in Iceland have direct fibre services available. 1 Gbit/s internet services are available to homes since 2016.[SUP][1][/SUP]Gagnveita Reykjavíkur(owned by the city of Reykjavík) has the largest deployment of fibre internet, and Míla is also building one.
The majority of connections in Iceland are by VDSL or fibre with Síminn and Vodafone being the main providers.

I think we should go to these countries and find out how good their internet is.

These might be good places for a holiday.
