More proof to validate that we are experiencing a renaissance in India's Internet connectivity journey.

According to Internet analysis service Ookla’s Speedtest Global Index 2017, India is at the top among all countries to have most improved its broadband services in the last year -- India's ahead of China and US, too.

We’re in fifth place, behind Réunion island, Guatemala, Ghana, and Peru, having improved broadband speeds by 76.9 percent to a national average of 18.82Mbps. However, we have the top spot among the largest countries in the world to have shown improvement, higher even than China and the US in second and third place.

In addition, the report also shows us in second place as far as improving our mobile data speeds is concerned, with a rise of 42.4 percent to 8.8Mbps. Only Pakistan improved even more, rising 56.2 percent to 13.08Mbps.

On average, the entire world’s broadband speeds improved by 31.6 percent in 2017 to 40.11Mbps, while mobile download speeds rose 30.1 percent, to a global mean of 20.28Mbps.

“Mobile and broadband internet speeds in India have certainly evolved in last couple of years,” Doug Suttles, Co-Founder and General Manager at Ookla, said in the blog post. “India still has a long way to go to catch up with countries that have top speeds around the world, however, we at Ookla are highly optimistic about the capacity for growth that is available in the Indian market.”
