Trends and patterns of broadband Internet access speed in a Nigerian university campus

A smart campus relies on robust and efficient broadband internet access for optimal functionality. A case in point is Covenant University, Nigeria which currently has a subscription of seven Synchronous Transport Module level one (STM-1) from three Internet Service Providers (ISPs). For this massive investment to be justifiably utilized, precise knowledge of internet speed trend and pattern on both the uplink and downlink is essential. Besides access to broadband Internet, delivery of high speed and good Quality of Service (QoS) are pivotal to achieving a sustainable development in the area of education.

智能化校园的运作离不开稳健高效的宽带互联网接入，以实现其最佳性能。以尼日利亚的科沃恩特大学为例，该校目前从三家互联网服务提供商（ISPs）订阅了七条一级同步传输模块（STM-1）。为了使这一巨大投资得到合理利用，对互联网上下行速度趋势和模式的精确了解至关重要。除了宽带互联网的接入之外，高速和高品质服务（QoS）的提供对于在教育领域实现可持续发展亦至关重要。
