It has become abundantly clear how dependent we all are on the internet, not only to be connected, but to be connected at speeds that could allow us to be productive, entrepreneurial, and forward thinking. Broadband connectivity has been an enabler especially across sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa and connection speeds to data centres together with the speeds provided by local ISP’s all play an integral role in broad market adoption of digital services. To better understand the internet speeds of our partners across the region, we recently conducted an internet speed test survey. We invited our 4Sight Dynamics Africa Microsoft Cloud (CSP) partners to participate in the survey so we can determine: Our partners local internet Our partners connection connection speeds.
