There are 19 countries in Europe and 27 countries worldwide with faster average mobile Internet than the U.S. As you can see in top 30 list below, countries such as Greece, Egypt, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Slovakia have faster average mobile Internet speeds than the U.S.

1. U.K. (26 Mbps)
2. Germany (24.1 Mbps)
3. Finland (21.6 Mbps)
4. France (17.4 Mbps)
5. Norway (17.3 Mbps)
6. Denmark (16.6 Mbps)
7. Belgium (16.2 Mbps)
8. Romania (15.9 Mbps)
9. Australia (15.7 Mbps)
10. Japan (15.6 Mbps)
11. Netherlands (15.0 Mbps)
12. Slovakia (14.0 Mbps)
13. Spain (13.8 Mbps)
14. Kenya (13.7 Mbps)
15. Austria (13.5 Mbps)
16 (tie). Ireland (13.2 Mbps)
16 (tie). Sweden (13.2 Mbps)
18 (tie). New Zealand (13.0 Mbps)
18 (tie). Taiwan (13.0 Mbps)
20. Indonesia (12.8 Mbps)
21. Italy (12.4 Mbps)
22. Egypt (12.2 Mbps)
23. Hungary (12.0 Mbps)
24. South Korea (11.8 Mbps)
25. Greece (11.4 Mbps)
26. Slovenia (11.3 Mbps)
27. Estonia (11.1 Mbps)
28. United States (10.7 Mbps)
29 (tie). Canada (10.3 Mbps)
29 (tie). Turkey (10.3 Mbps)

The United States fared better in the study in terms of wired broadband service. It ranks #8 worldwide in terms of the percentage of people with broadband speeds of at least 15 Mbps (48%), and #10 for broadband speeds above 25 Mbps (21%).

More good news: The number of U.S. households with fast broadband is on the rise. Thirty-nine states states increased average broadband Internet speeds by at least 10% in the first quarter of 2017, the Akamai report states. The average wired broadband speed across the U.S. increased 22% year over year, to 18.7 Mbps, nudging America into the top 10, ahead of the Netherlands. Globally, the average is 7.2 Mbps, up 15% year over year.

But in many countries, the average mobile Internet speed now actually surpasses that of broadband. For example, in Kenya, broadband averages 12.2 Mbps versus 13.7 Mbps for mobile. Likewise in the U.K., broadband averages 16.9 Mbps versus a world-leading 26 Mbps for mobile.

3G is 2G and LTE is 3G...

Data Subscription in different countries is usually different due to the economic conditions and operating costs of the Telecom Companies in each country. Airtel for example ,offers cheaper data services in its home country - India , than it does in Nigeria. In this post I collaborated with Dickson Otieno of Tech-Ish.com, a Kenyan Tech Blog. We'll be comparing the data plans in both countries and at the end we'll be calculating who spends more on data.


I believe this will let us know how much it costs citizens of both countries to access the internet and of course those who have enough data to waste on Twitter wars. If you are an active twitter user , you must have come across the #NigeriaVsKenya hashtag sometime. Well just in case you haven't brace yourself, it's about to get messy - Check a tweet with that hashtag -

Who spends more on data ?


For 1GB , Kenyans spend an average of 240-499 KES that's between N850- N1600 (for normal data plans)

Nigerians spend between N1000 - N1200 (KES 280 - KES 336 ) for 1GB and 1.5GB data plans


For 3GB - Kenyans spend between KES 499 - KES 999 that's between N1700 - N3400

Nigerians spend between N2000-N2500 .( KES- 560 - KES 700)

So It seems Kenyans actually spend more on data services. Nigerian Telcos are less expensive than their Kenyan counterparts. Of course , If there's an error in this post, feel free to let me know. Don't forget to tweet this and share as well.


the error is simple, what is the value of KSE 500 and 500naira?

Data usage on mobile phones are more expensive here,

whereas DSL broadband internet is way too cheap which is also unlimited. But it's mostly installed in homes and offices.

Re: Nigerians And Kenyans: Who Pays More For Data Services? by stankezzy: 7:06pm On Mar 23, 2018
We don't compare the prices like that , you first check the earning of the country then u equate it to what u want to compare. For example in nigeria old layer chicken is sold for 1k naira but in USA Texas precisely it is sold for 3 for 12 dollars that is 1 for 4 dollars , so 4 × 360 = 1440 naira , u may be tempted to say that the chicken is cheaper in nigeria but forgetting that in nigeria average labourer wage is 1500 naira so after working for a whole day as a labourer u can only buy one old layer with 500 change but in Texas average labourer pay per hour is 10 dollars so if he works for a day from 8 am to 4 PM 8 hours , that is 80 dollar , at 4 dollars per chicken that is 20 chicken per day pay , so it is by far cheaper there.

Lol......dont get it twisted. Have you checked their tarrif as in charges per kilobyte or megabyte
That's where we'll be able to determine the authenticity of the gap in charges between both countries.
Nevertheless, the law of demand and supply should still apply.

Checking the Popoluation density of both countries. Nigeria is still a better market if the data price is still set at a low charge.
