Morocco with 5.2 Mbps and Nigeria with 4.1 Mbps in a list led by South Korea that has an internet with a speed of 26.1 Mbps.
Joe Mucheru, responsible for the ICT area in Kenya, considered that the improvement in the classification was due to the government's strategy to implement broadband fiber optic infrastructure throughout the country and the increase in 4G services, which also contributed to the increase in speed and efficiency in connectivity.
A considerable performance, which in comparison with the other countries is spectacular, as highlighted by Akamai.

The report was based on public sources, as telecommunications regulators on each continent, unfortunately no data on Angola was included. Maybe INACOM can provide the current data, so we can see where we are on this list.
