Report: M'sia ranks 73rd in average Internet speeds
Malaysia’s average Internet connection speed dropped in the third quarter of 2015 placing the country at 73rd spot globally, according to a global survey from July to September this year by Akamai Technologies.
Akamai Technologies, a content delivery network provider, released its Q3 2015 'State of the Internet' report.
In a statement yesterday, Akamai said the average connection speed in Malaysia is slower than Thailand and Sri Lanka in the region and barely ahead of Vietnam.
According to the statement, Malaysians may be one of the most globally connected people but it is not necessarily with the desired speed.
“Based on an Ericsson report, about 87 percent of Malaysian Internet users stream videos on a regular basis and this figure is expected to increase by next year.
“The current connection speed might not be able to meet the demand for video streaming in the country,” it said. - Bernama
