The given bar chart compares five countries in term of high-speed internet access between 2001 and 2002, while the table indicates the percentage change across five nations over two-year period.
Overall, although all four countries experienced significant growth after one year, the most remarkable rise went to Britain. In addition, the proportion of connected internet speed was the highest in South Korea and USA during those years.
In 2001, there were 122 connections in South Korea, compared to 93 per 1000 people in USA. However, the figure in USA increased by 170% to 251,1 after a year, becoming the highest connected inter speed among all examined nations. Conversely, South Korea registered a modest growth, with a 20% rise to 134,4 per 1000 persons in 2001.
On the other hand, high speed internet was not as common as in the three remaining countries, with only 3,4,3,6 and 3,3 per individual in Germany, Switzerland and Britain respectively. However, although Britain recorded the most notable increase (by 230%), its final data was just 10,89. Additionally, the figured for Germany and Switzerland climbed by 80% and 120% to 5,616 and 7,92 connections per 1000 people in 2001.
