Forget India. its not a good benchmark.
Agree.
Not even a comparison because of higher number of difference in users as of 2016, India had an estimate of 262 million mobile internet users living in urban communities, and 109 million living in rural areas and would have doubled uptill now.
Whereas pakistani isps inspite of low number of users are standing on 101th and 107th place which is quite shameful
this is total useless comparison. India has cheaper Internet due to their local players and multiple internet fiber links.
