It was not a big surprise to see what the first ISP in Albania would be, for its internet speed service, as I knew already based on my own sources, but the surprise came when I saw that the ISP I use at home was listed as second. That discovery made me think a little harder as to reasons why. (click on image)
I soon realized it had to to with the number of subscribers and the main type of service which each of these ISPs provides.
The SpeedTest.net internet speed testing site had the following ranking for the fastest ISP in Albania:
- Ab-Com
- Abissnet
- Albtelecom
The first ISP, offers mainly high speed service, as does the second one. However, the third has truly the better service of the two due to its strong backbone connections, however, its overall speed is lower due to the fact that most of its subscribers use its dial-up service.
Does this make sense to any one? Anyways, the website was a good source if you want to do your own research into other countries and cities as well as testing you own internet connection which I did before discovering these later results.
I am in Michigan USA is there internet service available in Lezhe ? I have a friend there & was wondering if i could reach him there thru the internet ?
Dear Karen,
as far as I know there are a couple of ISP operating in Lezhe and there is also the dial-up service which is available everywhere in Albania as far as I know.
