Looks like the average connection is somewhere between 10 and 30 Mbps?

Seems enough for browsing the internet, online banking, emails, some social media, and watching videos in standard definition.

That sounds like enough for the average person. :)

Not sure how you worked that out from the most terrible map I've seen where everything is a "slightly greener shade of green" to disambiguate it from the other green bits, but kudos!

When your internet speed map looks like a topographical map, you need to adjust your colours.

The average never tells the full story, it can be heavily impacted by a few order-of-magnitude outliers.
