" Hong Kong and Singapore already have an 'Average' speed higher than that."

I'll observe that it's quite easy to have a high average speed by serving densely populated cities with some kind of fibre or coax product and then completely ignoring rural areas. The UK average would be greatly increased by cutting off any customer using ADSL and telling them they can't have broadband any more.

Any sensible measure must include both the average speed *and* the proportion of the population able to a) access and b) afford it.
