Time zone and overlap come from the tzdata database and a 9-to-6 working day at both ends. English is the EF EPI 2025 index and broadband the Speedtest Global Index for August 2026, each linked from the country’s own page. Bars are scaled against the highest of these nine, not against an absolute.
How this page is built
Named sources
Every figure carries the source it was read from and the date it was read. Nothing is estimated.
Published methodology
The scale, the gates and the thresholds are generated by the scoring engine itself, so what you read is what ran.
Declared gaps
What we have not measured says so. It is never rendered as a zero or filled with a guess.
No paid placement
No provider can buy a listing, a position or a reconsideration. There is no advertising on this site.
