EU approves Cypriot scheme to support access to high-speed internetCyprus’ internet speed saw a 42 percent increase within the last year

The European Commission announced that it has approved a Cypriot voucher scheme for a total of 12 million euros, to help households have better access to high-speed broadband services, with the aim of fostering digitalization in the country, CNA reports.

Cyprus’ internet speed saw a 42 percent increase within the last year, aligned with a global broadband speed rise.

The island ranked 89 out of 221 countries after tests in research designed and compiled by Cable.co.uk, and gathered by M-Lab, an open-source project. Cyprus’ mean download speed was 15.62 Mbps, and it takes about 43 minutes to download a 5GB movie, the survey showed.
