India

For a country slated to become the third largest Internet market in the world after China and United States, broadband speed and penetration sucks! Don’t go by our words. Here’s more proof: According to a new report, sixty countries around the world had broadband adoption levels greater than 10%, while China and India had the lowest levels of adoption among countries on the list, at 3 % and 1.2 % respectively.

Like before, India remains the country with the lowest average connection speed in the region at a 1 Mbps. The latest Akamai state of the Internet report reveals that India and China are lagging global peers when it comes to broadband penetration but there is hope. While the average connection speed in India is in the pits, there has been significant improvement in the first quarter of 2012, the report said.
