Which continent has the slowest internet?

Which continent has the slowest internet speeds?

Africa has the slowest internet speeds.

I remember visiting family in Nairobi, Kenya, back in March ’22. Trying to upload photos took forever. My cousin joked it’d be faster to mail prints.

The A4AI report uses M-Lab data, and shows Africa’s internet is both slow and expensive. Their median download speed is way less than Europe’s. Like, less than a seventh. Ridiculous, right? I paid $30 for a week of data that barely let me check email.

I’d spent the previous month in London with blazing fast speeds. It made the difference in Kenya even more stark. It’s a real digital divide.

Which continent has the least Internet users?

Damn. Hot day in Nairobi. 2023. Dust everywhere. Trying to get a signal. For my phone. Impossible. So frustrating. Remembered my cousin, back in the States. Complaining about slow Wi-Fi. Wanted to scream. Africa. So behind. Internet’s a luxury here. Not a given.

• Africa: Lowest internet penetration.
• Nairobi, Kenya: Personal experience with connectivity issues.
• 2023: Current year data.
• Comparison: US internet access vs. Kenya.
• Frustration: Difficulty accessing information.
• Digital divide: Real impact.

So many people offline. Limits education. Healthcare. Everything. Makes me angry. Something needs to change. The world’s connected. Except Africa. It’s like a different planet. Here. So much potential. But no access.

Which is the slowest internet connection?

Dial-up, bless its heart, remains the internet’s version of a tortoise racing a cheetah. Remember waiting ages for a single image to materialize?

Dial-up is so slow, you could knit a sweater while waiting for a webpage to load. My grandma’s faster at crocheting and she uses rotary phones! I love her rotary phone.

Dial-up: The internet equivalent of sending smoke signals.

• It’s slower than my grandpa trying to understand TikTok.
• Prepare for buffering… eternally.
• Don’t even think about streaming. You’ll need to get a new hobby. Knitting maybe?

Think of it as the internet’s scenic route. It’s technically a way to get there, but perhaps not the wisest choice, unless of course you enjoy existential pondering while your email loads. I don’t.

It really is a relic. Still it keeps on kicking.

Which country has the lowest internet rates?

Israel.

A shimmer. The lowest internet rates, a desert bloom. Just $0.04, can you believe it? Statista whispers secrets, data shimmering like heat haze. 2024.

Data, data, everywhere, but Israel, the cheapest. Like finding water in the sand, a digital oasis. I wish I was there, downloading novels under the sun, so fast.

Imagine, every gigabyte just pennies. Pennies! I spent more on coffee today. Coffee, fleeting. Internet in Israel, a lifeline.

Oh, Statista, keeper of secrets. They know the price of connection. $0.04, a whisper of a dream. So inexpensive, it’s a steal.

In which country is the slowest internet?

Turkmenistan, a land where the sands of time move slower than their internet. Seriously, dial-up’s faster.

Syria, Yemen, Tajikistan follow close behind. Think of them as the internet’s tortoises, racing against…well, nothing really. They’re in a race against dial-up! My grandma’s rotary phone probably connects quicker.

These rankings, from 2023, are like a digital Hunger Games, but instead of fighting, everyone’s just waiting. Waiting for a webpage to load. Waiting for a video to buffer. Waiting for life.

Key Factors:

• Infrastructure: Seriously lacking. Think cobblestone roads in a Ferrari race.
• Government Regulation: Sometimes, control equals slow internet.
• Economic Constraints: Building fast internet? That’s expensive. Expensive like my last trip to that fancy sushi restaurant on Bleecker Street—but that was worth it. This? Not so much.

Think of it this way: downloading a cat video in these countries is an Olympic sport. A marathon. A multi-generational family project. It’s become a cultural phenomenon, this waiting. It’s like, I imagine, waiting for a bus in London during rush hour. But for, like, ten years.

This data, though, is a bit like my dating life – always changing. It’s dynamic, people! Things shift! Check out Ookla’s Speedtest.net for the latest lowdown. Don’t rely on old news. It’s 2024, for crying out loud! Get with the program!

Which country has the highest number of people without internet connection?

Okay, so, India, right? India’s got the biggest chunk of people offline, like, a crazy number – over 684 million! That’s almost half the population, whaaat? Forty-seven point six percent, it’s insane. China’s second, but way fewer – around 336 million. Still a HUGE number though, but their percentage is lower. It’s crazy to think about it, huh?

• India: 684 million offline (47.6%) – That’s like, more than the entire population of the US! Seriously.
• China: 336 million offline (23.6%) – Still tons of people, obvioulsy.
• This data is from 2023. Things are changing fast tho.

Those numbers are pretty recent, I think I saw them on that Statista site last week. You know, the one my brother uses for his college projects. It’s wild, really makes you think about global inequity, right? Its a big problem. A massive issue that needs addresing. I read somewhere that access is improving, slowly, but my goodness. Makes me appreciate my wifi even more. So yeah, India. Definitley India.

Which country has the least Internet users?

Burundi…Burundi. The name whispers across forgotten plains. Burundi… A land where 87.5% of souls exist untouched by the digital hum. No glowing screens mirroring faces in the dark.

Chad rises next, shimmering heat. Chad, yes. 86.8%. A vast expanse, echoing silence broken only by wind.

But then… but then there’s North Korea. A shadow, impenetrable.

• North Korea: A digital void.
• Burundi: 87.5% offline.
• Chad: 86.8%… adrift.

Nearly zero. Zero internet. Is it true? North Korea. It’s a chilling thought, a world unplugged, a world before the screen. Such a stark contrast to my life, bathed in the blue light of endless scrolling. Before the screen. Before the noise. North Korea’s silence. It is a silence unheard by most.
