A leading cloud platform provider recently released its annual “State of the Internet” report. In a section on global network speeds, Akamai ranked South Korea first, followed by Japan and Hong Kong. Taiwan lagged behind its Asian rivals at No. 46. 

This test of internet networks shows South Korea’s transmission speed at 7.67Mbs. But in Taiwan, when the same test is applied, it hovers around 1Mb per second.

If Taiwan had a transmission speed of 3.7Mb per second, it would take about 270 seconds to transmit 1GB of video. If South Korea transmits at 14.7Mb per second, then it would only take 70 seconds.

A survey conducted by cloud platform provider Akamai shows that South Korea leads with an average broadband network speed of 14.2Mb per second, followed by Japan at 10.7Mb and Hong Kong third at 8.9Mb. Taiwan’s average speed of 3.7Mbs places it 46th in the world.

Akamai is a content delivery company and doesn’t specialize in testing. From January, other published tests such as that of the Consumers' Foundation showed transmission speeds of 13Mbps. National Taiwan University also reported that it was around 15 to 16 Mbps, showing that there is a big gap. 

Chunghwa Telecom acknowledges that many people feel mobile internet access is too slow. They say that this is because domestic telecoms have pushed unlimited 3G data plans, and just 15 percent of users now account for 65 percent of bandwidth use, causing slower speeds.


國內知名雲端平台供應商,公佈全球網路速度調查,南韓以每秒14.2MB的網路傳輸量,排名第一,其次是日本和香港,但台灣每秒傳輸量只有3.7MB,排名46,甚至還落後紐西蘭。

測試網路速度網頁上清楚顯示, 韓國每秒傳輸量7.67Mb,而當資料從台灣傳到韓國時,下方計速表,指針就只徘徊在1Mb的數字上下。

“台灣是3.7mb流量的話,大概要270秒才能傳完1GB的影片,如果南韓是14.7的話,那需要的時間只要70秒”

根據雲端平台供應商調查,第二季寬頻網速,全球第一名就是南韓,有14.2Mbps,第二名日本,10.7Mbps,香港居第三,有8.9Mbps,台灣以3.7Mbps的傳輸量,屈居第46名! 

[[中華電信副總 陳明仕]]
“Akamai它是一個內容遞送的公司,可是不是專業的測速公司,我們從一月不管是,消基會公告的數字是13Mbps,那最近台大公正單位也測了,大概15到16Mbps 也有公告,看的出來這些公正單位測的速度,跟前面所提的落差還蠻大的”

中華電信承認,民眾感覺到,行動上網太慢,部分原因是國內業者拼命推3G吃到飽的方案,讓一成五的使用者,佔去65%的頻寬,才會造成速度慢。
