Notice how USA puts such emphasis on LTE coverage because the more people pay for it the more profit. But notice how they don't really care about the quality only the coverage.

        In India we cant expect greater speed as mobile data is so cheap here (almost free), because of cheap data plans, so many people use mobile internet instead of broadband and this is the reason network operator struggling hard to provide good speed.

          Wow Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore are the only 3 highest asian countries with good LTE coverage unlike other asian countries

            ResolvePi, 09 Jun 2017Proves what I have always believed, the free market is no g... moreNot really. The list is a huge mix of free and command economies. Ecuador has a closed, socialist economy and it is terrible at coverage and connection speeds per the map. It is only about the size of North and South Carolina combined. The United States has a mostly free economy, with government-backed monopolies in telecom (by way of net neutrality law), but it is the largest country on the map (Canada doesn't count because almost 95% of its population lives within a hundred miles of the US border) and still outpaces most other countries in 4G coverage. The United States is massive -- most individual states are going to be as large as some entire countries in Europe and Asia. If you don't realize how large the United States is, you've never been there or never left the city. Watch out -- nature isn't full of dubstep and skinny jeans!

Telstra is already in the country but cannot find a deal more worthy than what Danding Cojuangco asked from the Australian Network which is 70-30, that percentage is too much, it supposed to be 70 (Telstra) and 30 (Danding) not otherwise

                    In Philippines, Globe Tel.Com. offers 10MBPS of internet speed with 100GB DATA allowance for Php 1,299 (Hidden charges apply). Globe connection sucks a lot. Too slow.. No Customer Service is freakin bad... I hope telstra will enter Philippines.

                          Anonymous , 09 Jun 2017I am glad that Asians dominate.asians are not dominating lol. Only two take top spot and tahts Japan and korea for avalaibility and for speed only two asian countries are above.

                          Shame on japan for having slow 4g. How is it that korea has faster speeds than Japan.

                                      I'm ashamed to be a Filipino because of this report.. Tsk! They should have let Telstra to venture in our country and we could've have experienced faster 4G Signal. Damn those Aquino's they just want to build an empire in our country with their shitty networks.
