Data compiled by UK’s leading providers broadband, Cable.co has ranked Madagascar as top 25 Broadband Speeds in the World and first in Africa. Madagascar ranked 22nd in the world and first in Africa while Kenya ranked 13th as compared to 2017 position.

The data was collected for the second year in a row across the 12 months up to 29 May this year by M-Lab, a partnership between New America’s Open Technology Institute, Google Open Source Research, Princeton University’s PlanetLab and other supporting partners, and compiled by Cable.

Madagascar is the fastest African nation, clocking in at an average speed of 24.87Mbps, placing it 22nd globally. This is thanks to the underwater cable that supplies the island’s urban centres with respectable fibre broadband speeds.

Singapore tops the list in the World with a mean download speed of 60.39 mbps and it is unchanged from the previous year. Scandinavian countries rounded up the top four (Sweden, Denmark and Norway in that order) with 46, 44 and 40 mbps respectively.

Madagascar registered a speed of 24.87 mbps dusting countries like France, Finland and Germany.

Kenya is second to Madagascar with a mean of 10.11 mbps, which is significantly behind Madagascar’s mean speed but a solid result for 2nd place. They checked 6,581 distinct IPs for this report and there were 31,083 tests obtained to get this total.

This implies that it takes 1 hour 7 minutes and 30 seconds to download a 5GB movie in Kenya as per the statistics while compared to Madagascar, that seems like a lot of time since it only takes 27 minutes and 27 seconds to download the same file.

Rounding up the top 5 in Africa include South Africa with 6.38 mbps, Cape Verde with 3.24 mbps and Ghana with 2.88 mbps.
