International Internet Day: Which country has the fastest internet?

The internet has made our lives unquestionable easier and broken down countless barriers in communications, trade, commerce, education networking and many other fields that were previously difficult to achieve.

The world's first electronic message was sent on this day in 1969, after which October 29 is celebrated as International Internet Day every year. The credit for this historic feat goes to Charlie Klein, a student at the University of California, who etched his name in history by sending out the first electronic message in the world.
