Average Peak Internet Speed in China Climbs 14% in 2013: Xunlei Report

China’s average peak Internet speed reached 737.4KB/S in 2013, up 14% as compared with the beginning of the same year, according to a broadband speed overview released by Xunlei.

The peak Internet speed for Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan still take the leads as compared with that for other regions in Chinese mainland. The connection speed of Shanghai and Beijing reached 1,190.3KB/s and 970.2KB/s, respectively. The development of broadband infrastructure is quite uneven, while peak Internet speed of Xining, a city in underdevelopped northwestern China,  is only half of that for Shanghai.
