A recent study on the Digital Quality of Life around the world has revealed the prevailing inequalities among countries in terms of internet affordability.
The Digital Quality of Life index shows that world regions where people pay the most for mobile and fixed broadband internet services also contend with the slowest internet speed and lowest connection stability.
For instance, people living in Africa have to work almost 11 hours a month to pay for even the cheapest broadband package. In Nigeria, it is almost 34 hours. Whereas, on a global average, individuals work three hours and 48 minutes a month to pay for even the cheapest broadband package.
The findings also suggest that countries with the least affordable internet tend to be countries with the slowest internet. Based on the index figures, Nigeria is at the bottom of the internet affordability pillar as the country with the least affordable internet out of the 85 countries assessed.
