Yesterday during discussion with one of cousin, he asked me that what is the maximum internet speed available on the world. I got confused that yes this is a good question and for general knowledge it is very useful one. I decide to do some research and find that what exactly is the maximum internet speed available in the world. Unfortunately i found a few articles on this topic. Still i am not sure that what is the maximum internet speed, however i collect some information on the topic.
DSL/ADSL
Maximum Speed = 25-30Mbit
Wired Ethernet
Maximum Speed 1000Mbits
Satalite Internet
Maximum Download Rate = 1 Gbps
Average Download Rate = 1Mbps
Average Upload Rate = 256kbps
According to SpeedTest.net
Another clue that i found on the web about maximum internet speed is here
Scientists have set a new world record for data transmission by transferring a data rate of 2.56 Terabit per second over a glass fibre link of 160 km length.
It means maximum internet speed is 40 Gbit/s
Still it is not clear that what is the maximum internet speed available in the world. Only government agencies and military can answer this question, because they uses internet for defense purposes.
If any one can better answer this question, then feel free to share a solid proof with us so that we can know about maximum download and upload speed currently available in the world.

Recently scientist of japan became successful to reach a speed of 74mbps.
In India maximum downloading speed is upto 21mbps provided by Tata Do Co Mo 3G.
2.56 TB is equivalent to 2621.44 GB not 40!
in India 16 MB is max. Its for business series… only in companies, it will be there, but it will be shared to many pcs and so each one gets around 512/256 kbps at min…
In USA, 16 MB will be common one… everyone has min of 16 MB …
1 movie via torrent will be downloaded within half an hour….so USA people are fast in tech updates and uploads…
wow, this is amazing! to see Pakistan at 131th number, Lol. but i think its not true, because we have downloading speed of 5Mbps here in NUST..
wish if our govt launch 3g! or they’re thinking about to go direct to 4G ! Lol.
