Our i-way is no better than our highways

While Indians are known for contributing to peak traffic on the internet, the irony is that the country has the slowest internet speeds across the world.

A study shows that against a mindboggling average internet speed of 24.6 mbps in South Korea, and 15.7 mbps in Hong Kong, India has a measly average internet speed of 2 mbps. What’s more shocking is that the percentage of annual change is as low as 46 per cent. No wonder that, like our highways, even our slow internet speed is arresting the growth of our country.
