The UAE has the fastest internet service of all countries in the Middle East, according to a survey by the US-based technology firm Akamai.
The average broadband connection in the UAE clocks in at 3.92 megabits per second (Mbps), more than double the rate of most countries in the region.
Israel has the region's second-fastest broadband service, with average speeds 3.65Mbps, followed by Saudi Arabia at 2.04Mbps.
All the other countries in the region have connections of less than 2Mbps, with the average speed across the entire Middle East standing at just 1.63Mbps.
That ranks the region below North America, Asia/Pacific and Europe in terms of average internet speed.
