Where was that article lifted from? Anyway, the latest study... monday, 22/08/2012 study say otherwise. It looks like Rwanda even ranks higher than Nigeria: Rwanda has been ranked fourth in Africa with high speed internet, after Ghana, Kenya and Angola in that order, according to Ookla NetIndex latest global internet speed report which was released on Monday. 22/08/2012 Report - http://www.newtimes.co.rw/news/index.php?i=&a=51031 From the Ookla NetIndex latest global internet speed report guys. BTW, Ookla NetIndex is the global leader in broadband testing and web-based network diagnostic applications. FYI, This is not a Ghanaian newspaper/newsite where an individual may say the facts are being skewed for the country. Its a Rwandan News site. Another report with the Top 10 African Countries: March 2012 Report - http://techloy.com/2012/03/12/africa-top-broadband-speed/ Very current/Updated - LIVE Report - Just Hover your mouse on a particular country and see the internet speed pop-up: The Official site to test/check all African countries: http://netindex.com/ or http://netindex.com/download/allcountries/ (It lists all countries with Live updates).

Please check the out this link if you want to know the truth. http://www.netindex.com/download/allcountries/ Based on millions of recent test results from Speedtest.net, this index compares and ranks consumer download speeds around the globe. The value is the rolling mean throughput in Mbps over the past 30 days where the mean distance between the client and the server is less than 300 miles. [quote][/quote] Some of the countries some are rubbishing will shock you.Speeds in Kenya have been top since Fibre optic was installed like 6 years ago. |
Re: Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Speed In Africa? by happy98: 10:33pm On Aug 23, 2012 |
From Kenya |
Re: Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Speed In Africa? by pendo89(f): 10:45pm On Aug 23, 2012 |
Just clarifying. Internet users in Kenya rely on 4 undersea fibre optic players. Use of the fibre optic cable significantly reduced the cost of connectivity to broadband and increased the connectivity speeds. TEAMS : EASSy: SEACOM: LION2 Teams and Seacom were the first cable to land at the Kenyan coast in 2009 resulting to fast Internet in the country. Ok karibu kenya and yeah test test test.Infact I want my speed reduced |
Re: Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Speed In Africa? by doofanc: 10:59pm On Aug 23, 2012 |
happy98: it this for real 55mb/s?? if true, then not bad. . . |
Re: Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Speed In Africa? by pendo89(f): 11:07pm On Aug 23, 2012 |
I am posting from Nbo. I just don't want to advertise for the isp.But google about ISP providers in Kenya and speeds. You can see it's for May because we were trying to compare internet speeds between our various isp's to vote out the best. We used to rely on satellite long ago and speeds were discouraging.Nowadys with the fibre it's fast. If one fibre is accidentally destroyed cz it happens esp with the big ships,we have 3 on standby and if you have the best ISP you will appreciate Most kenyans register with more than 2 ISP providers like me,to ensure no disruptions take place..So we rarely have issues. |

Nigerians are all gullible. we all know what it is like to surf on the net where there is no 3g network. even where there's 3g network, the speed at times can be frustrating. and now they are telling us that Nigeria has the fastest internet speed. the other day, i was at GLO head office in Portharcourt and for several minutes, there was no internet network in their office. and we are here deluding ourselves of fast internet speed. Maybe they have gone to do it the 'Nigerian" (manipulate) the report. |
Re: Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Speed In Africa? by AjanleKoko: 11:49pm On Aug 23, 2012 |
doofanc: That's not mobile data. That's ADSL or some other fixed network. Even HSPA+ can only get to 45MB theoretical speeds. It can never be achieved over a congested air interface. pendo89: I am posting from Nbo. I just don't want to advertise for the isp.But google about ISP providers in Kenya and speeds. What is the last mile your ISP is using to bring service to you? You're comparing mobile data (3G/HSPA) with a copper or fiber connection. Users in Nigeria are getting Internet off their mobile provider. Can you provide us with Safaricom or Airtel mobile data speeds over their 3G network? We have three cables landed in Nigeria as well. SAT-3, Main One, and Glo-1. WACS will come live later this year. 1 Like |

Re: Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Speed In Africa? by pendo89(f): 12:29am On Aug 24, 2012 |
What is the last mile your ISP is using to bring service to you?Ah thank you. That was a speedtest to a server within nairobi hosted by the ISP. Airtel has amazing speeds too.I will post once i run the test,but SAFCOM is does it for me. And you know what? I still think ghana is ahead. check out rwanda and angola too. |
Re: Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Speed In Africa? by ektbear: 12:37am On Aug 24, 2012 |
Interesting. Was really slow for me when I was using it. |
Re: Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Speed In Africa? by AjanleKoko: 12:43am On Aug 24, 2012 |
^^ That's more like it. Wananachi is a fixed broadband, 3-play provider. Is that over a fiber connection, or copper (ADSL)? |
Re: Nigeria Has The Fastest Internet Speed In Africa? by pendo89(f): 12:57am On Aug 24, 2012 |
AjanleKoko: ^^ if u start asking me deep technical questions i will run away.i hate these terms Wananchi Online Company runs Zuku which offers Wimax and fibre connection. Now I do not use zuku so i cant talk much abt them. |
