Vice Presidential Candidate number one, Muhaimin Iskandar, stated that Indonesia's internet speed is still very low.

He made this statement during the second series of the 2024 Presidential and Vice Presidential Debate themed "People's Economy, Digital Economy, Finance, Investment, Taxes, APBN/APBD Management, Infrastructure, and Urbanization" at the Jakarta Convention Center on Friday (22/12/2023).

Imin's statement, as the vice presidential candidate is called, was in response to the moderator's question regarding the candidates' policies in addressing the misuse of digital data that could potentially harm business partners and consumers.

According to him, Indonesia needs government intervention. This includes digital literacy for MSMEs and promoting marketing for the sustainability of MSMEs in the face of fierce competition. In addition, fast internet access is crucial.

"On the other hand, we also need to improve our technological capacity to provide better assistance, such as improving internet speed, which is still very low in our society," he said.

So, is it true that Indonesia's internet speed is very low?

According to data from the *Speedtest Global Index*, Indonesia ranks ninth in Southeast Asia with a median download speed of 24.53 Mbps in November 2023. This also places Indonesia at 100th globally.

This figure is far below the global median mobile internet download speed of 48.61 Mbps.

In Southeast Asia, Singapore leads with a median download speed of 95.18 Mbps. Meanwhile, the country with the highest median download speed in the world is the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with a median of 324.92 Mbps.
