Furthermore, these ISPs demonstrate a commendable level of service quality, with browsing and streaming results reaching 28 % and 65 %, respectively. These figures highlight the reliability and strength of Madagascar’s internet networks.

According to the Digital Report 2024, Madagascar boasts a user base of 6.31 million users, marking a notable increase of 2.4 % or 149,000 additional users between January 2023 and January 2024.
