Read this before you quote it

Steam publishes the average download rate per country on its download stats page; we read the data behind it on Oct 20, 2026 at 6:18 PM ET. It moves day to day.
The world figure is our byte-weighted average over the 236 countries in that data. GB means 10^9 bytes, and times assume the average speed for the whole download.
Method: how we collect Steam data.
