It is always fun to take a look at global internet usage statistics to compare and contrast different internet prices, speeds and adoption rates between countries.
You may remember an infographic I posted last year regarding online population growth statistics which discussed the countries with the highest and lowest rates of internet adoption growth.
The infographic below (published by InternetService.net) contains a number of similar statistics as well as additional statistics related to global internet usage.
