Top 5 Cities In India And In The World having High Internet Speed

Hyderabad became the first Indian city to get 1 Gbps internet connectivity, courtesy of ACT Fibernet, making it the first time we’ve received city-wide coverage of that kind of speed anywhere in India. So who exactly were the reigning champions before then? And just how do we stand up to the rest of the world?

 We’ve put together a list of the cities with the highest average internet speeds across the globe, as well as in India. Take note, we’ve measure this capability based on the average download speed in each city, pulling data from both Akamai and Ookla. Also keep in mind that all speeds here are listed in Mbps (Megabits per second). Here’s what we found out:

1. Seoul

      Seoul, the capital of South Korea,  grabbed the top spot for fastest internet in 2016, measuring in at an average of 26.1 Mbps. Some of the fastest connections in the city offer up to 1.5 Gbps speeds. 

2. Hong Kong

Hong Kong comes in second place, with the country’s financial capital showing an average of 21.9 Mbps across services.

3. Singapore

Called the most “tech-ready nation” by the World Economic Forum, Singapore comes in at a close third, with 20.2 Mbps being the average download speed.

4. Tokyo

The most populous metropolitan area in the world and capital of Japan, Tokyo, comes in fourth with an average 19.6 Mbps broadband speed.


5. Taiwan

The island nation of Taiwan, often in contention with the government of the People’s Republic of China over its status, brings up fifth place with a 15.6 Mbps download speed average.

On paper, India does fairly well for itself if you just look at the top cities in the country. We average out at about 13.271 Mbps in download speeds across the nation, but which cities rate the best.
