• Sudan sits at the bottom with an average speed of 4.02 mbps, far below the continental average.
• The Central African Republic follows closely at 4.08 mbps, making Central Africa a weak spot for digital connectivity.
• Somalia, despite topping the list, averaged only 6.64 mbps, showing even the “fastest among the slowest” remains well behind global standards.
