Vietnam, Indonesia have much faster internet speed than IndiaBengaluru, June 2 (IANS) Ranked 89 globally, India's average internet connection speed of 6.5 Mbps is slower than Vietnam and Indonesia, which are much faster, a report said on Friday.

While Vietnam, ranked 58, had an average internet speed of 9.5 Mbps, Indonesia at rank 77 provided a speed of 7.2 Mbps, Global leader in content delivery network services Akamai Technologies' "The State of the Internet Q1 2017 Connectivity" found.

The report also said that India witnessed a 4 Mbps broadband adoption of 42 per cent in the first quarter of 2017 with a year-over-year change of 81 per cent.

 

"Increases in connection speeds and broadband penetration have helped enable the internet to support levels of traffic that even just a few years ago would have been unimaginable," David Belson, editor of the report, said in a statement.

"One need only look to January's US Presidential Inauguration, which broke traffic records for live coverage of a single news event delivered by Akamai, largely thanks to the combination of more viewers watching at increasingly higher levels of video quality," Belson added.

On a global level, the average connection speed was 7.2 Mbps - an increase of 15 per cent year-over-year - and average peak connection speed increased 28 per cent year-over-year to 44.6 Mbps in the first quarter of 2017.

"While South Korea had the highest average connection speed globally at 28.6 Mbps in the first quarter, Singapore had the highest peak connection speed at 184.5 Mbps in the first quarter," the report noted.

The average mobile connection speeds ranged from a high of 26 Mbps in Britain to a low of 2.8 Mbps in Venezuela. Germany had the highest peak mobile connection speed at 200 Mbps in the first quarter.
