According to the Q3 2013 report from Akamai, India featured lowest in 'average internet speed' among all the countries in Asia Pacific region. The average internet speed in India was reported to be only 1.4 Mbps, which is even less than half of global average internet speed. A 29% increase was seen over the year in global Internet speed, which accounted to 3.6 Mbps in Q3 of last year.
Despite such slow speed, there is an increase in average Internet
speed in India. It was reported to have a rise of 11% in internet speed
per quarter last year.
Recently, India was reported to be working with Israel on 5G technology
which showed that India was looking forward to developing its Internet.
Last year, Akamai had reported that India will likely see an increase of almost 50% to 1.8 Mbps in the next 12 months because of investments in high-speed optical fibre network.
India even features behind Nepal, which has an average internet speed of 3.6 Mbps.
