According to a survey done by Strategy Analytics, Singapore ranked 2nd in household broadband penetration with 88%. Not far behind are Netherlands, Denmark, Taiwan, all of which are above 80%. The top spot belongs to South Korea where a staggering 95% of households have broadband.

The US, home of Silicon Valley, had only 60%, putting it at number 20, lagging behind even Japan with 64%. This should not be too surprising though, considering the top 5 countries are all relatively densely populated and much smaller compared to the States. This makes establishing a broadband network much easier.
