Malaysians may be one of
the most globally-connected people but it’s not necessarily at a speed they
want. According to a new global survey, the average broadband speed in Malaysia
is slower than Vietnam and Cambodia in the region, and barely ahead of Myanmar.
Almost three times slower than Vietnam, Malaysia at 5.48 Megabits per second
(Mbps) was ranked a low 126 out of 192 countries surveyed from May 2013 to
April this year in the recent Net Index. Zooming to the number one spot was
Hong Kong with a speed of 78.3 Mbps. Singapore sped to second placing at 66.6
Mbps while South Korea was ranked fourth (53.77Mbps), the United Kingdom 23rd
(26.85Mbps) and US 32nd (23.9Mbps).
The survey was
conducted by Ookla – a global broadband testing and web-based network
diagnostic applications company that compares the download, upload and line
quality of broadband connections.
