Thankfully, things look a bit more optimistic on the broadband internet front. India is at the 65th position, with an average download speed of 54Mbps. Its position remains unchanged compared to last month. Things are a tad different on this front, with Singapore, Hong Kong, and Thailand taking first, second and third place with average speeds of 247Mbps, 229Mbps, and 220 Mbps, respectively. Interestingly enough, Romania comes in fourth with 198Mbps.

Ookla rounds things off by stating that overall global broadband speeds continue to be on the rise. However, we should take these results with a grain of salt. Mobile broadband speed is subject to a ton of uncontrollable variables. It is virtually impossible to take all of them into account, especially while measuring internet speeds on such a large scale. We can expect India’s positioning to improve in subsequent months, once 5G networks are more widely available.
