Also when looking at the rankings, what makes Rwanda no 1?
Me think the percentage of their population using the internet is still low hence hence those great speeds.

What do the ranking companies consider when they are doing the rankings or just speed?

I also wonder how Rwanda beats Kenya while their connectivity transits through KE to the undersea cables.

Not only the upload / download speed, but also the low latency!

The data industry needs some serious competition.

Regarding mobile data, more specifically, 3G, Ke, is very competitive compared to even first world countries globally.

Just convert your mobile data service provider's rates per MB to USD, then compare with the average global prices. Global prices link below.

But when it comes to fiber, the bandwidth is available, but it's not cheap.

In Kenya, most ISPs (if not all) are giving clients capped speeds. If you pay for a 2mbps link you are basically getting 250KB/sec of download speed. A while back they were giving clients uncapped speeds then realized they are loosing money

@Mzeiya411 These speeds though have limits on content that can be accessed.

I'm aware of Zuku's poor service delivery.

Just curious to know which ISP(s) would provide such low speeds after ordering e.g. a 2mbps fiber link.
