Thailand tops internet speed testing

Thailand climbed two places to the top spot out of 176 countries in fixed broadband internet speed testing based on the Speedtest Global Index in December last year, driven by fierce local competition.

The Speedtest Global Index compares internet speed data from around the world on a monthly basis.

Data for the index comes from hundreds of millions of tests taken by real people using Speedtest tools every month.

Speedtest was developed by Ookla, a Seattle-headquartered pioneer in fixed broadband and mobile network testing applications, data and analysis.

Internet speed testing by Speedtest can be done through its website or application.

In December 2020, Thailand clocked an average fixed broadband speed of 308.35 megabits per second for downloads, replacing Singapore in the top spot of the index.

Thailand was third in November 2020….
