Test your internet speed from anywhere in Asia . Cloudflare has edge servers in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Manila, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Karachi, Dhaka, and dozens more cities. Your test automatically connects to whichever is closest.
Singapore is effectively 100% fibre. Nationwide FTTH over the NBN means Singtel, StarHub, M1, MyRepublic and ViewQwest all sell 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps symmetric plans at similar prices, and the median household result is around 1 Gbps. Ping inside Singapore is 1 to 5 ms. If your Singapore test shows only 300 to 500 Mbps on a gigabit plan, the limit is almost always the router or WiFi, not the line: many bundled routers cannot route a full gigabit over WiFi, and a single 1 Gbps Ethernet port caps a 2 Gbps plan by design.
India's fixed median has multiplied over the past few years as Jio Fiber and Airtel Xstream pushed FTTH into tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Typical plans run 40 Mbps to 1 Gbps, and most are near-symmetric because they are true fibre rather than cable. Ping within a metro is 4 to 15 ms. The two most common complaints are evening slowdowns on international routes and WiFi that cannot cover a concrete-walled flat. Compare your result with the Jio and Airtel guides.
Both countries treat gigabit symmetric FTTH as the baseline, with 10 Gbps widely available in Tokyo, Osaka and Seoul. Latency is exceptionally stable, typically 3 to 10 ms domestically. Japanese speeds vary more than the plan suggests because most consumer connections share an ISP's IPoE or PPPoE gateway; switching to an IPoE-capable provider often doubles evening throughput without changing the physical line.
The biggest variable across Asia is international transit capacity during peak hours. If you're reaching US or EU servers, expect slowdowns in the evening even though your domestic line tests fine. CDN-hosted content (most modern web apps) won't be affected. WiFi congestion is the other big one, especially in dense apartment blocks where dozens of networks crowd the 2.4 GHz band.
