<h3>Why certain countries have faster speed internet than others?</h3>

I just found out that Lithuania ranks first in internet speeds according to Net index while other a lot more prosperous countries have laughable internet speeds.Why is that?
Here's the list of some of the countries:
Lithuania-31.74Mbps(record!!!)
Australia-8.84Mbps(Why?)
Italy-4.85Mbps(shocked!)
Japan-14.62Mbps(Unexpected)
UK-11.38Mbps(Weak)
US-12.19(12.19>11.38 yay!)
