Internet and connectivity speed tester Ookla last month released its global market analysis, ranking all countries in terms of fastest mobile and fixed broadband internet speeds.Countries are ranked based on their Speed Score, which incorporates a measure of each country's total download and upload speed to rank network performance (90% of the final Speed Score is attributed to download speed and the remaining 10% to upload speed because online experiences are typically more affected by download speed).Ookla places the most emphasis on the median speeds as those represent what most mobile internet customers will experience on a day-to-day basis.Here at the top 10 African countries ranked by fixed broadband internet speeds:10.
