That report not really broadband penetration rate. "Average speed person from country X gets from Akamai" is not the same thing as "Percentage of country X population has access to broadband faster than Y". There's a bit of correlation, but hardly an actual accurate study of broadband speed availability.

Using an extreme example for illustration purposes: in country A, 100% of the population has access to 100Mbps, but 90% of that population chooses to only get 10Mbps service for whatever reason. In country B, only 10% of the country has access to 100Mbps, and all of them take advantage, whereas the rest of the country only has access to 10Mbps. All else (CDN location, peering, statistical deviations in sampling, etc.) being equal, both countries would show up the same on a list like this, but country A actually has vastly superior broadband penetration and infrastructure.
