Australian Internet Descending

It turned out that in terms of internet speed, #Australia is developing slower than its neighbors

– Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan. Although the country’s internet will speed up, it will thus not as quick as elsewhere. According to the recent analysis, average connection speeds within the country raised by 27th last year to achieve 5.8 Mbps. However, Australia dropped 3 places in world speed rankings and came 44th, outrun by its neighbors #Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan. Australia is followed by New Zealand with its average speeds of 5.3 Mbps, however #South Korea is before everybody with average speeds of 21.9 Mbps. 2013 was the primary time once the highest 10 stratified states had average connection speeds over the “high broadband” threshold of 10 Mbps. within the highest 10, #Ireland saw an 8.4% increase to 10.4 Mbps, and the USA –  2 increase to 10 Mbps. The leaders conjointly include Japan, Hong Kong, Sweden, Switzerland,  Netherlands, Czech Republic, and Latvia.

Australia took the 32nd place in average peak connection speeds at 35.2 Mbps that is an increase of 26th from the previous year. Hong Kong was first with its 68 Mbps. The metric decided by taking the typical of the highest connection speed for every distinctive IP address.  As for the proportion of the local users with “high broadband” connectivity,  it doubled last year and reached 9.7%. additional and more people have been recently seen choosing plans promising most speeds of over 24 Mbps. the number of citizens signing on to such plans raised 27th last year to pass 2,000,000. However, real speeds were in most cases far slower as a result of varied factors like modem quality and therefore the distance between a user and therefore the nearest net exchange. The report discovered that broadband sped up imposingly across the board within the Asia Pacific region. In the meanwhile, the world average connection speed raised 5.5% and reached 3.8 Mbps. 24 Mbps connection allows to download around 180 megabytes of data per minute.By the way, the same report showed that China remained the biggest source of computer attacks, because the country generated 43rd of all attack traffic. The report was supported knowledge collected by #Akamai’s “Intelligent Platform”, which handles up to 1/3 of the world’s net traffic through over 100,000 servers.
