    After watching a news story about internet speeds in Indonesia, I just now (at 4:55pm) ran an internet speed test for my landline - cabled from our house modem to my computer, in Perth WA. The result:
    Download speed 26.4 Mbps
    Upload speed 3.6 Mbps
    ...................
    Now compare this to major cities in other countries - for cellular internet speeds:
    Singapore 225.71 Mbps
    China 223.49 Mbps
    Chile 220.96 Mbps
    UAE 206.12 Mbps
    .
    USA 192.73 Mbps
    .
    Barbados 78.49 Mbps
    UK 71.14 Mbps

    The reporter is complaining that Indonesia only has a speed of download speed - 17.57 Mbps
    upload speed - 10.65 Mbps,
    - and that more needs to be done.
    Am I missing something here???
    Australia has some of the most expensive telecommunication charges in the world !!!!
    Is the joke on us ???
