Australia's internet ranking slips behind Kazakhstan and Kosovo

A new broadband internet speed test was conducted which revealed that Australia fell to 68th in the world behind Kazakhstan and Kosovo, as per reports. With Australia ranking 10th in the OECD for GDP, it is shocking to see that they are the fourth last when it comes to the internet. According to Speedtest's Global Index, Australia beats Peru, Belize, and Madagascar. The speed test showed that Australia has an average fixed broadband speed of 41.7 megabits per second, which is below the global average of 73.5. It’s 2020 and Australia’s internet speed rankings have dropped further to 68th in the world, and fourth last in the OECD. The Morrison Government simply has no plan when it comes to climate change, energy policy or world-class broadband. #auspol https://t.co/OyJvCOo3Et — Michelle Rowland (@MRowlandMP) January 29, 2020 READ: Mobile Phone And 2G Internet Services In Kashmir Now Restored Average speed of mobile internet.
