Hyderabad fastest in Internet speed in India
Akamai Technologies has released its third quarter, 2011 State of
the Internet report, based on data gathered from the Akamai Intelligent
Platform - a distributed computing platform comprising thousands of
servers across the world that is used to monitor and speed up access on
the Internet.
The report provides insight into key India statistics such as Internet penetration, mobile traffic and data consumption, global and regional connection speeds, and observed attack traffic.
Commenting on the report, Sanjay Singh, Senior Vice President & General Manager – Asia Pacific and Japan & Managing Director - India, Akamai Technologies, said, “Akamai is in a unique position to measure and analyze unique trends in this hyperconnected world and it is exciting to see broadband adoption in the country touching the 10% threshold. Increasing hyper-connectivity and steady growth in connection speeds across India will bring new business models and reach for organizations in every industry – from media to mining, from financial services to manufacturing, from commerce to logistics.”
In the current report, the average connection speed in India was recorded at 0.9 Mbps, a sequential quarterly growth of 12%. In comparison, China’s average connection speed was at 1.4 Mbps and India remains the only measured country in Asia with average connection speeds below 1 Mbps. The global average connection speed by comparison grew by 4.5% to 2.7 Mbps.
Akamai also found that Hyderabad and Chennai were the fastest Indian cities in India with average connection speeds of 1.5 Mbps and 1.2 Mbps. The report also finds that average connection speeds in New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Kolkata were at 0.8 Mbps, 0.8 Mbps, 1.1 Mbps, and 1.1 Mbps, respectively.
Indian broadband (>2 Mbps) adoption finally touched the 10% threshold, growing 45% quarter-over-quarter, while high broadband (>5 Mbps) adoption was at 0.6%, growing at 46% quarter-over-quarter.
During the third quarter of 2011, attack traffic originated from 195 unique countries or regions, up from 192 in the second quarter. India ranked #8 in terms of global attack traffic origination with 3.7% of global attacks originating from India.
Singh added, “While we continue to see security threats dampening some of the enthusiasm in the report, we believe the opportunities outweigh the risks for businesses in the region to leverage the hyperconnectivity era for both efficiency and competitive advantage.”
