Luanda - The Republic of Angola improved 26 places in the Ranking on Internet Access, going from position 49 to 22, in an analysis of the South African specialised portal "Research ICT Africa (RIA)", referring to the year 2018.

On its website, RIA said that in the latest update, Angola improved another five positions and should soon be ranked 18th when data for the third quarter of 2020 is made available.

Among other factors, the fact that the price of a 1GB 30-day Internet package remains below 5% of the monthly income of an average inhabitant in the 51 countries monitored has contributed to this.

Contributing to this, according to a note from Unitel attesting to the fact, was the depreciation of the local currency, while the price in local currency fell due to price drops.
