Australia has dropped down to 48th place in a global average broadband
connection speed rankings list published by Akamai Technologies.
...
According to the report, the average broadband speed for Australia in
the fourth quarter of 2015 was 8.2Mbps, putting it in the 48th spot
(down from 46th) compared to the rest of the world.
In terms of average peak internet speeds, at 39.3Mbps, Australia fared
far worse, plummeting to 60th position (down from 46th) in the quarter.
...
Australia's average and peak internet speeds have increased by 11 per
cent and 6.4 per cent year-on-year, respectively.
...
With ABS data showing demand for bandwidth doubling every two years or
so, that might be a problem.
