Singapore has the fastest 4G network followed by South Korea and Australia in the Asia-pacific.
Singapore is also the fastest 4G country
in the world, according to a report by Open Signal, a UK-based wireless
technology company. The report compares 4G performance across 88
countries worldwide.
South Korea is the second fastest network in Asia followed by
Australia and New Zealand. In Australia, Vodafone has jumped ahead of
Telstra in the 4G speed metric, averaging LTE downloads of 40 Mbps.
Taiwan's operators are quickly joining the global elite in 4G availability and it is the fifth fastest network speed in Asia.

It is followed by Japan and Vietnam at 25.39 and 21.49 mbps
respectively. As per the report Japan 4G network speed is by no means
slow, but it is still well away from matching the LTE speeds of the
elite countries.
Brunei Darussalam has eighth fastest network in Asia with 17.48 mbps
speed. It is followed by Myanmar and Malaysia. Other countries below
15mbps are Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Pakistan. Thailand ranked on the 9th place.
.
India fares poorly in the report. Its operators are still focused on
growing LTE's reach rather than injecting more speed into their 4G
services, according to the report.
According to the report through improved smartphone technology and
new spectrum, mobile operators have elevated average 4G speeds first
beyond 20 Mbps, then beyond 30 Mbps, and in the last two years, beyond
40 Mbps.
However now the industry seems to have reached a limit to what
current technology, spectral bandwidth and mobile economics can support
on a nationwide level.
The fastest countries average LTE download speeds have stalled at
just over 45 Mbps, as per the report. Speeds, however, remained
stagnant, but that could soon change as the wave of consolidation clears
the way for new high-capacity networks".
