Countries’ Internet Speeds 🌏

[jstar]

Speedtest.net has published an overview with internet speeds all over the world.

Indonesia doesn’t score very high with position 101 on mobile internet right between Tanzania and Nigeria. Obviously these types of lists always need to be taken with a grain of salt, esp. since we don’t know the exact locations where there has been measured and if there have been any commercial incentives.

Talking about locations, the site also offers an overview of major cities, which could be somewhat more accurate. But even there Indonesia (i.e. Jakarta Selatan) doesn’t score very well.

The list includes the median download speed for Mobile (left column) and Fixed Broadband (right column).

There‘s also an overview with a comparison of the different mobile network providers. Telkomsel scores rather well.

At home here in HK I've got 118 Mbps download & 9 Mbps upload using a 5G router with SIM card. No broadband.

Ouch. Older buildings?

Here in the US it's hit and miss. Cities generally better than suburbs and rural areas; sometimes in the latter you only have one proper broadband provider

We would have to rip open a wall and install new cables in order to get the faster speeds...the new owner can do that if they'd like.
