Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — Internet speed in Indonesia remains significantly below the government targets as Indonesia having the slowest internet speed among South East Asian Nation, according to Speedtest data.

In today’s digital era, the internet has become an essential need, providing access to information, communication, and entertainment. As the world transitions into the fifth-generation (5G) connectivity era, Indonesia still lags behind many of its regional neighbors.

According to the December 2024 Speedtest Global Index report by Ookla, Indonesia average internet speed hovers around 20-30 Mbps, far below the government’s ambition of reaching 100 Mbps.

Among Southeast Asian nations, Indonesia has the slowest internet speed. The country’s mobile internet speed stands at 28.8 Mbps, placing it at the bottom of the region’s rankings. Meanwhile, Indonesia’s fixed broadband speed is 32.07 Mbps, slightly ahead of Myanmar, which recorded 28.94 Mbps.

Download Speed

According to RRI, Indonesia ranks among the three slowest ASEAN nations in terms of download speed, alongside Myanmar and Timor-Leste. Indonesia’s average download speed is 19.54 Mbps, slightly higher than Myanmar’s 13.28 Mbps, while Timor-Leste ranks last with just 6 Mbps.

On the other hand, Singapore leads the region with the fastest broadband internet speed, averaging 134.43 Mbps in 2024. Malaysia follows with an average download speed of 82.38 Mbps, while Thailand rounds out the top three with 62.75 Mbps.

5G Networks Adoptions

According to Wayan Toni, Director General of Digital Infrastructure at the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi), Indonesia’s internet speed will largely depend on the adoption of 5G networks. Without widespread 5G coverage, speeds are unlikely to see significant improvements.

“We hope to increase 5G adoption to at least 10%. We’ll have to monitor the progress,” Wayan said in a statement as reported by CNBC Indonesia on Thursday (February 13, 2025).

If 5G coverage expands significantly, officials expect Indonesia’s internet speed to reach 37-40 Mbps. In addition to the 1.4 GHz spectrum, the government is also preparing other frequencies for 5G, including 700 MHz, 26 GHz, and 2.6 GHz, with plans to auction them later this year.

“We plan to announce the opening of the 1.4 GHz spectrum by the end of February, while the 700 MHz, 26 GHz, and 2.6 GHz frequencies may be auctioned together in June,” Wayan added.
