Indonesia's Internet Penetration Below Vietnam in ASEAN
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Indonesia's internet penetration rate, according to a 2019 Wearesocial Hootsuite survey, reached 56% of the total population of approximately 265 million. This figure lags behind other ASEAN countries such as Singapore (84%), Thailand (82%), and Malaysia (80%).
Indonesia's archipelagic nature (more than 17,000 islands) stretching from Sabang to Merauke, and its vast population, contribute to a lower internet penetration rate than Vietnam (66%) and below the global average of 57%.
To improve internet connectivity for its citizens, the government has built the Palapa Ring fiber optic network, spanning 12,148 km and divided into three regions: west, central, and east. This 4G internet network, with speeds up to 30 Mbps, is targeted for completion this year.
