Zain KSA tops Game Mode report by CITC for internet connectivity

Zain KSA’s subscribers benefitted from the fastest response time in FIFA21, Dota 2 and League of Legends.

Zain Saudi Arabia has topped the Game Mode report issued by the Communications and Information Technology Commission for Q4 of 2020, as the best video game provider in three video games: FIFA21, League of Legends, and Dota 2.

Zain KSA’s subscribers benefitted from the fastest response time in FIFA21 with an ideal latency of 29 milliseconds, in Dota 2 which recorded an ideal latency of 21 milliseconds, and in League of Legends with an ideal latency of 86 milliseconds. Furthermore, Zain KSA’s subscribers enjoyed the ideal latency achieved in Fortnite and Apex Legends, according to the report.

The Game Mode report measures latency which is the time spent sending a data package (in-game processes) from the user’s device to the server hosting the game, and receiving the processed data back on the user’s device. Hence, the lower the latency falls, the faster the game server’s response becomes. As such, professional gamers are keen to subscribe to an internet connection with the lowest latency possible. For that, the internet service offered by Zain KSA ensures the ultimate gaming experience in the Kingdom.

Opensignal, the independent global standard for analysing consumer mobile experience, has granted Zain Saudi Arabia three awards: Best download speed for the fifth generation (5G), and the best download experience for the fifth generation for users ( 5G), and the best coverage of the fifth-generation (5G). Zain Saudi Arabia also won the SpeedTest award for the fastest home internet in the Kingdom, approved by UCLA International during the year 2020. Zain Saudi Arabia also ranked first in the Meqyas report issued by the Communications and Information Technology Commission for the fourth quarter of 2020, as the fastest fixed internet in Kingdom, and the largest coverage of the fifth-generation (5G) in the Kingdom.
