Despite the fact that these numbers have been gradually increasing, internet subscriptions remain quite expensive in parts of Africa, with monthly broadband internet costs averaging around
USD $80 in Nigeria, $86 in Kenya.

Furthermore, internet speeds in North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa are often low,
averaging 5.68Mbps and 6.56Mbps, respectively, compared to 90.56Mbps in Western Europe
