Traffic consumption by country
The US company USTelecom has published the Cisco Visual Networking Index statistics on the effective use of broadband channels by users of different countries. These statistics better reflect the real state of affairs in the broadband access market than data on tariffs and on the average connection speed of each user.
However, no matter how hard it is, the conclusion remains the same: we all lag far behind South Korea. There, each subscriber consumes an average of 24.5 GB per month. In second place in the world is France (14.3 GB), followed by the United States (14.2 GB). Unfortunately, Russia is not in the rating, although the audience Habr could surely bring the country among the world leaders.
According to USTelecom statistics, next in the ranking of the most traffic-generating countries are Germany (12.9 GB per person), the UK (11.9 GB) and Japan (11.9 GB). The world average is 11.4 GB. That is, every broadband Internet user in the world downloads an average of 375 megabytes per day.
According to USTelecom, this data should prove that the US lagging behind the recognized leaders in Internet speed is not as great as previously thought. Indeed, in the same Japan, most users are connected via ultra-fast optical fiber, but they use their channels less actively than the same Americans (and no one can compare with the Russians in terms of channel efficiency). So advancement is expressed not only in the speed of the channels, but also in how these channels are used. If there are additional Internet services, a lot of popular sites and content - then the traffic will be higher. This is a real indicator of the availability of a good Internet infrastructure and the advancement of the nation.

The presence of such statistics will allow American providers to argue their position against tariff reductions. As you know, in America, users pay much more for channels of the same thickness than in other countries. For example, a study conducted by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation in May 2008 showed that Americans pay $ 2.83 per megabit / s, and prices have barely dropped over the past year and a half. At the same time, the Japanese pay $ 0.13 per megabit / s, in South Korea, Finland, France and Sweden prices are below $ 0.43 per megabit / s.
