To answer your question on who has the fastest internet? It's a 75 year old woman in Sweden. Her internet connection could pretty much max out the pipes of most mid-sized datacenters. She gets 40gbps to her home.

You live in the US and have cable internet? Your connection is probably about .003-.015gbps. FiOS? .005-.025gbps. University connection with no limits? Assuming you have just a standard consumer NIC, not much higher than 1gbps.

Yeah. Give up, she won. Residential connections won't come close to this for about 5-10 years minimum. That's in Sweden. 20 years for the US at least, unless Verizon and other companies start rolling out a TON of fiber really fast.
