Pakistan's Mobile Internet Speed of 1.5 Mbps Beats India's 1.3 Mbps

Smartphones, Tablets, Computers, Laptops and other devices that connect to the Internet through mobile network providers. The only mobile broadband option available to users in Pakistan has so far been PTCL's EVO.

Akamai report ranks 16 countries in Asia by mobile Internet speeds. South Korea tops the list with average 14.7 Mbits/sec and 41.3 Mbits/sec peak. Vietnam is at the bottom with 1.1 Mbits/sec average and 6.5 Mbits/sec peak. India ranks second from bottom with 1.3 Mbps average and 8.7 Mbps peak.

With 3G and 4G roll-outs currently underway in Pakistan by multiple carriers, companies like Zong are talking about delivering speeds of up to 42 Mbps while other companies are offering 3G speeds of up to 21 Mbps. Even if they fall short, I expect that the average mobile broadband speeds in Pakistan should still be lot faster than what's available in the country today.

LOL 1.3 Mbps in India? I have 15Mbps Connection which is not high end since 2009.
They provide 50 Mbps speed in my city and there was a recent pilot program of 1GB net speeds in my city and some companies offer 1GB interenet speeds since 2011.
Pakistan beats India in Internet speed yeah right!

Regarding Mobile Internet speeds we already had 3G since 2011 which pakistan is yet to bring.
