There is a high disparity in the broadband connectivity in Asia-Pacific, a digital divide that remains to be one of the largest in the world, according to data compiled by the Asia News Network.

Data showed that South Korea has a subscriber base of 40 percent, while Myanmar only has 0.3 percent subscribers. This means that South Korea has 40.2 subscribers per 100 inhabitants.

Aside from South Korea, high-income countries like Hong Kong (31.2), Japan (30.5), Singapore (26.5), and China (18.6) also ranked high in broadband penetration compared to countries like India (1.3), Indonesia (1.1), and Pakistan (1).

South Korea still has the fastest average connection speed in the region at 19.9 mbps, followed by Hong Kong at 19.9 mbps and Japan at 18.2 mbps.
