Very impressive, the Nordic countries.

Canada, depending on how you want to look at it, is either leading a group of big economy and English-speaking countries, just over 25% and in a pack with the UK, France, Germany, USA, Australia, and Japan, or significantly behind a group of countries with at similar latitudes. :)

Interesting that with all the fiber (and supposedly so cheap), Japan still has a lower percentage of the overall population with broadband than the USA.
