Slowly Moving Forward, Laos Ranks 140th in Global Broadband Internet Speed

Laos has ranked one hundred and fortieth on the earth for web velocity based on a research performed this 12 months by researchers who analyzed broadband speeds throughout 220 international locations.

The measurements lab, with groups based mostly at code for science & society, google inc, and others, led the excellent research of broadband velocity throughout 220 international locations, with the information later analyzed by Cable.Co.Uk.

Laos ranks seventh within the ASEAN broadband velocity league, beating out Cambodia, Indonesia, and Myanmar, respectively.

Laos common imply obtain velocity is 17.64 megabytes per second, with the common time to obtain a 5 GB film being 38 minutes and 42 seconds. Nevertheless, on the worldwide scale, Laos solely ranks one hundred and fortieth.

Singapore topped ASEAN’s charts, nevertheless, with a imply obtain velocity of 101.75 Mbps. This velocity is equal to downloading a 4k decision 1-hour film in simply over seven minutes.

Indonesia, a rustic that tops the ASEAN GDP rankings for 2023, based on the worldwide financial fund, ranks second to final within the ASEAN league for broadband velocity.

In response to the information by Cable.Co.Uk, the nation solely has a obtain velocity of 14.30 Mbps, with a mean obtain time of a 5 Gigabyte (GB) film taking up 47 minutes.

This may be attributed to varied elements, together with insufficient infrastructure and a scarcity of funding.

In all of Asia, solely six international locations rank among the many prime 50 quickest broadband speeds, with Europe main the best way with 30 positions. Macau (231.40 Mbps) and Taiwan (153.51 Mbps) are the one two places to make it into the highest ten quickest on the earth exterior of western Europe.
