News & Reviews:   internet speed

Based on Opensignal's latest report released today, Malaysia has seen an impressive increase in average download speeds, a result of the government's commitment to improving digital infrastructure and the overall mobile user experience. So, what should you know about it?

Back in July 2020, Celcom silently upgraded some of their monthly internet data quota for their MEGA plan and LIGHTNING series pass. The blue telco did it again but this time, they have increased the internet speed, monthly hotspot and the monthly internet family line.

Yup, you read that right. A group of researchers from a university in London just broke a new world record for the fastest Internet speed with 178,000 Gbps. According to UCL (University College London)'s statement, the Internet speed is "twice the capacity of any system currently deployed worldwide."

In this short announcement by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), Malaysia has climbed to the 28th spot in terms of Internet speed. We know that there's still a lot of work to be done, but it's quite an improvement compared to 2017 when Malaysia was ranked 56th.
