Does your internet connection feel slow? Well, most probably it is. A report by Akamai, which manages an internet content delivery system used by hundreds of major websites across the world, reveals that despite3G rollout in 2011, the overall state of internet connections in India continues to be poor with average speed of just 0.9mbps. This puts India at 114th position in the list prepared by Akamai on the basis of average internet speed in quarter 4, 2011.
In India all 3G connections are sold with a promise of an internet connection with a speed of at least several mbps. But it seems the reality is different. And with the growth in wired internet connections lagging behind, the average internet speed in the country remains poor........
In comparison, China is 86th on the list with the average speed of 1.5mbps. Brazil has an average speed of 1.8mbps. For Asia-Pacific India remained the only surveyed country within the region that has an average connection speed below 1mbps.
The report says that South Korea has world's best internet infrastructure with average speed of over 17mbps.
Incidentally, many internet service providers (ISPs) in India continue to define a connection with a minimum speed of 256kbps as broadband connection. The number is abysmally low and web activists and users argue that at a time when services like YouTube are part of life on the web, the minimum speed should be improved.

Having an Internet connection of average speed of just 0.9 Mbps is in fact too high! Probably the report is created by taking in consideration of those internet users too who are residing in the educational institutions where they have the privilege to use Internet connection of more than few Gbps.
ReplyDeleteThe Akamai report, in my opinion, does not clearly represents the actual state of Internet Connections bandwidth. They should have considered only the home users or SMBs having Internet connections. If that would have been considered then I am sure that India will win the first slot from bottom.
