The following are some providers of measurements. They use different techniques, are made at different times so comparisons are questionable. If for example, we choose to compare the results for S. E. Asian countries we get

While the absolute values differ by orders of magnitude, the relative positions (in parentheses) are more stable. We can get a quantitative measure of the correlation between the various measurements and PingER by plotting each value against the PIngER value and calculating the R2 which is a measure of how much of the variance in y is explained by the model x (or in our case PingER). We do this for the measurements that have > data for >

Based on measurements made to subscribers. Provides upload and download. We use the upload. The results are strange in that unline all the other measurements, Singapore is ranked behind Thailand and Vietnam.
