Global Internet speed breakdown - Infographic

The Internet is something we use to save as much time as we waste using it. It is the holy grail of information, entertainment and a ripe platform for business, and even though it’s the biggest thing to be invented in the last 30 years, it’s younger than most companies using it.

Updated on Jul 20, 2011 by Brandon Davenport

Twitter is adding hundreds of thousands of users every day and Facebook is approaching the 800M user mark.
