Iraq ranks at the top of the global Internet speed

Local

 Since 2017-08-19 at 17:07 (Baghdad time)

Baghdad - Mawazine News

Iraq ranked last in the Internet speedometer on the mobile phone at 122nd, and ranked 117th in the speed of fixed internet service.

According to the Speedtest Global Index of July 2017, which measures the speed of the Internet around the world, Iraq ranks 122nd speed on the cell phone is the last rank.

While Iraq is ranked 117th fastest fixed Internet service.

Norway ranked first in the speed of Internet on mobile phone, while Singapore ranked first in the fixed Internet speed and Venezuela ranked last.

[Synopsis]

With the optical network being installed all over Iraq and electricity moving toward reliable 24/7, I suspect this will all change dramatically by the end of this year. This statistic may be based on the entire country to include the areas retaken from ISIS that are substantially destroyed. As such, this statistic may not be a reliable indicator of the "internet speed" in other key functions in Iraq.

 

Isn't it suspicious the title of the last article is, "Iraq ranks at the top of the global Internet speed " yet the article says Iraq is "ranked 117th fastest fixed internet service"???!!!

 

 

LG just opened this humongous electronics store in a country that is "ranked 117th fastest fixed internet service"???!!! Hmmmmmmmmmm............................. something not quite right here.

 

Go Moola Nova!

WOT!!! Let's go Iraq...I knew this was huge news goes along with those smart phones...LG makes smart phones too...not just appliances...
