Increasingly the key to working at home for many people is the availability of broadband access.
Cisco has produced their 3rd annual report on the topic and the US is far from number one. In fact, we’re not even in the Top 10 (we’re #15). The results are based on a variety of factors:
Quality was evaluated by scoring the combined download throughput, upload throughput, and latency capabilities of a connection, the key criteria for a connection’s ability to handle specific Internet applications, from consumer telepresence to online video and social networking. These criteria are expressed as a single ‘Broadband Quality Score’ for each country.
Here are the top 10 countries from the list:
