Nkonkonsa:


Once again Nigerians taking credit were none is due. What is your basis for saying MOST of the internet in Ghana is provided by Nigerians? Are you insane? Why do you assume mainone accounts for most? Is it because it's Nigerian? Any facts to support that assertion? None! Just a mindless arrogrant Nigerian rant if you ask me. Am tired of hearing baseless arguments about how ALL the banks in Ghana our owned by Nigerians, How Nigerians run the Ghanaian economy - when you cannot even run your own.

A couple of Nigerian companies, hardly represents MOST! That Nigerians invest in Ghana is a testament to how Ghanaians have built - on their own, a conducive business environment ion their country - for all - Nigerians, Ghanaians, Lebanese etc.!

stop using one or two successful Nigerians companies in Ghana to stroke your egos. Its getting old! Face it, Ghana is doing something right and you are not! Bad belle!
I mentioned the name of companies that supplies bandwidth to Ghana, I thought after all your rant you were going to come up with a company name but you couldn't. this is why i don't post here becos it is just bullshit

LeoMax: All these nonsense you idiots spew out here, can you not relate that Nigeria has triple the number of internet users than Ghana ? It all boils down to shared bandwidth morons, allow same number of users in Ghana to use Nigeria infrastructures and the speed will skyrocket.
please tell them

you're wrong...this is supposed to be population independent.

if Ghana has a population of 100 and a 1GB bandwidth for that population to share, Nigeria with a population of 1000 should provide at least 10GB of bandwidth to be at par. the onus is on Nigeria to provide enough bandwidth per user

the US has at least 2ce the population of Nigeria yet they are still ranked higher than Ghana with less than half the population of Nigeria...

Kunle-A:
Ghana is surely making its strides. i was surprised when i visited about 2 yrs ago. The cell phone service is great and MUCH CHEAPER than Nigeria. Not to mention RELIABLE!

I haven't visited lately to test their internet services compared to Nigeria (with extensive use from the US as my background) it will be nice to know the difference.

I am certain that i will be impressed. I remember that we go to cybercafe all day everyday to watch Nigerian movies on youtube without any delay. We pay like 1 Ghana Cedi for like 1hr 30mins.

Power is quite much stable too in the Accra area. While it goes off occasionally, WE DID NOT SPEND THE NIGHT IN DARKNESS FOR THE ENTIRE 2 MONTHS I SPENT THERE. If there is power failure, the maximum is 4hrs and by 6.30pm or 7pm its already back

I am not sure of any cybercafe in Nigeria where you can do that without any issues.

Way to go Ghana. Proud of you
u are saying absolute rubbish

So Nigeria provides Ghana's internet service, yet they're still wayyy ahead. Are you not ashamed of yourself for even bringing this up as an excuse explanation?

Empero1: These statistics from Ookla’s NetIndex is noting but a big crap , I'm of the opinion that they based their statistics on fiction . I have been to more than 16 African countries ( inclusive of all the countries listed herein ), none of them in this list has faster internet speed/connection more than Senegal .
imagine sum1 that wrote fictional statistics from inside is room... And some m0rons believed it

Why are we always comparing Nigeria with Ghana? Do you guys know the difference in population, and how difficult it is to cater for the huge population??

Tired of the Ghana comparisons, please compare Ghana with Lagos..

What's the internet speed in Lagos compared to Ghana?

What's the growth of the Ghanaian economy compared to Lagos??

If you compare America, or the UK to either Switzerland, or Luxembourg; you will find out that they're better than both the UK and America in every index...

Seriously, Nigerians need to grow up.

Akwasi:
According to latest statistics from Ookla’s NetIndex, Ghana has been ranked with the fastest broadband Internet speed in Africa.

Ookla is the global leader in broadband testing and web-based network diagnostic applications. Based on millions of recent test results from Speedtest.net, the NetIndex compares and ranks consumer download speeds around the globe.

From the results, Ghana currently has download speeds of up to 5.14 Mbps, ranking it 73rd in the world. The country is closely followed by Kenya with 4.94 Mbps, Angola with 4.53 Mbps, Rwanda with 3.28 Mbps and Zimbabwe with 2.98 Mbps in that particular order.

Other African countries with the fastest broadband speed include South Africa with 2.98 Mbps, ranked 6th in Africa and 105th in the world; Libya with 2.94 Mbps, ranked 7th in Africa; Morocco with 2.77 Mbps, ranked 8th; Nigeria with 2.30 Mbps, ranked 9th in Africa and 129th in the world; and Tunisia ranked 10th with 2.12 Mbps.

Re: Internet Speed Rank In Africa; Ghana 1st & Nigeria 9th by Nobody: 4:02pm On May 18, 2012
When you have close to 60 million individuals using limited broadband, it is bound to be slower compared to a place where 10 million individuals are using it. Simple logic.

Nigerians are known in Africa as some of the highest internet portal users. That means that more websites are accessed, more softwares are downloaded and more data are uploaded and since broadband is limited, you are bound to have slower internet speed in countries with large population of which a huge chunk of it make use of the internet often.

There is a good reason why Finland has the fastest broadband speed compared to Germany.

You people amaze me with how dull you are. A known ghanaian nationalist posts an article and you begin heaping insults on your home country. No one cares to apply his/ her sixth sense. Dullards
