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

Don't mind these lousy folks.

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.

Most of you are a bunch of morons who have no common sense. Did you see the criteria that was used for the comparison? They used speed test .net tests and took the average so it is only right that a country like Nigeria where everyone wants to feel among and they go get internet but they get the cheapest kind and then they start to test their speeds because that's what everyone is doing so the low scores will bring down the other higher speed test scores. There is absolutely no way that Ghana has this speed and it is not tied to population or total number of internet users.

This is a silly report that does not include all the criterion used to derive such baseless results. Ghana will never grow like Nigeria and you can ask the USA who is more important in the world today. Nigeria GDP is $240Billion compared to Ghana's $37Billion. Even Lagos has a bigger economy than Ghana. *****Hissing*****

So the question is why is 'the nigerian company' suppling more bandwith or whatever you call it, to ghana, even though the demand is here in nigeria
Nigerians are paying more,

BTW MainOne is not exactly most nigerian companies, How many other nigerian companies supply Ghana?

and how do we know ghana doesnt have investment in MainOne, these sort of companies that goes through
different countries have local companies chipping in money

So, why is Ghana's internet speed not faster than that of the US and India since we've reduced it to population. We have the resources, man power et al and pride ourselves as the giant of Africa yet we're lagging behind in almost everything including internet speed and you tell me that it's because many people are sharing a limited server. Why should they be sharing limited servers in he first place when we have the material resources to get more servers. That's a cheeky excuse if you ask me.

This country called ghana(small letter intended) is really an inferiority complex set of ppl. Whenever they re higher in anythng compare to naija whether true or false they become so happy. For there info we dont even compare our self with any african country, wat we compare our selves with are japan china indonesia malaysia etc. So why being happy comparing with u ppl. Most nigeria to be honest dont even knw theres a country called ghana but whenever things or events happens in naija there media would report it like its there national story. Since ive lived in this country i ve neva seen a headline of our news letter on ghana. For some of us ghana is a bush place. Thats why most of there dirty bleached guys flog our country for movie set. A country whose populatn hv 90% dark ppl hv almost 95% of there tv screen goddess appearing fair in completion. Wat a typical inferior country!

london2lasgidi: 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.
gbam... U nailed it.. Buh the comparison always start by ghanaians.. Check dis post again it was started by a ghanaian.. I wonder why dey cant just face deir country and leave naija with its problem

Even with the whining things are no changing, at least not as fast as we want them to change. So, are you suggesting that we keep mute when we see what we don't like?
am not against whining but why whine about a thing like this? Ghana is even ahead of SA and all the north African countries in this ranking does that mean they are a better nation than them? Attempts by some posters to explain why we are this low in the ranking apparently fell on deaf ears. One can't help but have the feeling that Nigerians just love to dwell more on Nigeria's negatives.

cyril83: Ghana is the truly Giant of Africa

Before you change your nationality pls hear this; do you know that Nigeria holds the largest internet subscribers in Africa? MTN and GLO internet users in this country is even higher than some countrys total population mention above? What am trying to say is that the rate at which our internet subscribers growing is faster than what the operators forecasted or predicted that's why you experience network problems due to constant upgrading of their facilities all the time.
To me, Nigeria still remains the best!

please people lets drop the fight over who is most backward now...hopefully in a few more years it won't matter!! my 1st computer in the 1990s ran on a network with download speeds of 25 kilobits per second and DSL (top of the line Digital subscriber Lines)had speeds of 300 kb/sec!

Well, my ipad now runs a LTE network at close to 30 megabits per sec!!!

so, things will continue to get better too in africa weather it's nigeria or ghana!
