COMPARING INTERNET SPEED Of NEPAL WITH THE AVERAGE 

The average broadband download speed in the world is 23.3 Mbps and we are at a slower speed of 8.3 Mbps. As for the upload speed, the average is at 10.6 Mbps and we’re at an even slower rate of 7.1 Mbps. But what's more of a let down is we pay more for the internet service. We pay around NRs.1,500 (in average) as compared to global average amount of just $5.21 (NRs. 521)

So what do you think might be the reason behind we Nepalese paying more for a slow internet? Leave your opinion in the comment section. [fbcomments]
