Singapore had the highest global average peak internet connection speed in the third quarter of this year, and
ranked third in the world in average internet connection speed, according to a new report.
South Korea and Hong Kong took the top spots in average connection speed at 26.3 megabytes per second
(Mbps) and 20.1 Mbps respectively, according to the Akamai State of the internet report for Q3, released by
Massachusetts-based content delivery network services provider Akamai.
Singapore came in third at 18.2 Mbps, but led the pack in average peak connection speed at 162 Mbps, with
Hong Kong and South Korea trailing behind at 116.2 Mbps and 114.2 Mbps respectively.
This is the fifth consecutive quarter for which Singapore has snagged the top spot.
To explain the difference between average connection speed and average peak connection speed, executive
director of Deloitte Consulting in South-east Asia Jan Wupperman used an analogy of a highway, The Straits
Times reported in July.
"When the highway is empty, your car can go at its maximum speed, or peak speed," he said. "But when there
are many cars on the highway - such as when everyone is using the same bandwidth for streaming, surfing and
downloading during peak hours - you end up with traffic jams, or a lower average speed."
Connectivity has grown globally, with the average connection speed growing 2.3 per cent quarter-on-quarter
and increasing 21 per cent to 6.3 Mbps year-on-year, according to Akamai's report.
The global average peak connection speed increased 3.4 per cent quarter-on-quarter and 16 per cent year-on-
year to 37.2 Mbps.
In the Asia-Pacific region, India had the lowest average connection speed at 4.1 Mbps, and the lowest average
peak connection speed at 27.0 Mbps.

Brave Boy Found Alive

After Two Days at Sea

      Feeling no fear, a five-year-old boy spent two days floating at sea on a mattress in a bid to survive from the
effects of the tsunami that killed thousands of people from his town and was reunited with his family on
Thursday.
      He cried as he rushed to his parents, older brother and younger sister at a refugee camp in Meulaboh, his
hometown of 40,000 people in Aceh that was one of the hardest hit in Sunday’s disaster.
       Wira later calmly recounted to reporters the amazing events that brought him back to his family, a rare tale
of happiness in the devastated province on the island of Sumatra that has seen nearly 80,000 people killed by the
flooding.
      Nursing only a gash to his left leg, Wira said he was playing with his brother and sister near his home when
the waters rushed through.
      According to Antara news agency, Wira said he held on to various floating pieces of wood while being
swept away.
      “I was not afraid because I am used to the sea.” Wira said while massaging his wounded leg.
      “As I was still holding to a door, the mattress came by so I decided to climb on it. I was not afraid, but I was
cold.”
      Wira said he spent two days out at sea until he was found by fisherman on the look out for bodies off coast
of Meulaboh. –AFP
