A team of software and technology experts reported that The Gambia was ranked among the 10 worst performing countries globally in terms of Internet speed and network quality for citizens.

The Speedtest.net group has undertaken a thorough testing and review of the latest software. In his assessment, he focused on transparency, while actively fighting false positive reviews about internet access speed around the world. The Gambia was ranked with conflict-ridden countries such as Niger, Syria, and Afghanistan. Cuba, a communist country, is in the same group and provides an average of only five (5) Mbps (megabits per second) of internet access speed. In the case of The Gambia, analysts estimate that a market of two (2) million inhabitants, served by four (4) GSM operators and several other Internet Service Providers (ISPs), is a determining factor for the broadband services that citizens benefit from
