Valve has added many useful features to Steam over the years but one that you may have overlooked is the Steam Stats page, which was updated to let you check the data rates and average speeds for different Internet Service Providers in each country and region.
Valve is calling this feature ‘Steam Download Stats', users can filter by total bytes or average download speed. Filters can also be applied to regions, countries or even specific US states. Clicking on each country will bring down a list of Internet Service Providers and its respective average download rate.
This download stats feature has been available for a while but has mostly been overlooked. As we can see from the graph, Europe is currently using more bandwidth than any other continent. Russia and North America are pretty close on the bandwidth scale with Africa and the Middle East using very little.

KitGuru Says: It is interesting to see how internet speeds vary from country to country. The UK only has a 14.7Mbps average download rate while South Korea has over 50Mbps on average. What sort of download speeds are you guys getting? Are you above or below your national average?
EU rocks! obviously!
A cool thing to be able to see although I’d say that it would actually show higher results than the actual average. Gamers, when they can tend to (not always) go on a faster package than most people. I chose a higher package largely because of my game downloading habits.
24 Mbps for the country, I get better speeds than that, 20-25 MBps sustained speeds on the normal HDD. Could probably get better on a SSD.
i beat canada average by 5Mbps but i miss my old 60 Mbps internet lol
