Are You Happy With Your Internet Service Provider?

The Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA) announced the launching of a platform for measuring Internet speed through the website – http://speed.ix.kw – as part of its efforts to evaluate the performance of telecommunications companies and service providers.

In a statement to Kuwait News Agency, CITRA disclosed the platform will provide users with information about the quality of the services provided by all networks in a transparent and clear manner; as well as developing the principle of transparency and the Kuwaiti technological scene.

Sources pointed out that to ensure fairness for all service providers, the basic evaluation system will be placed in the Kuwait Internet Exchange and all suppliers will have direct contact with the exchange, in addition to conducting speed tests on the basic system to measure the performance of the local network.
