According to the My Connection 2025 rating, the state of Para is seventh among the worst states in the Internet quality in Brazil. The survey conducted by the platform measures the speed of the Internet and also indicates that Belém is in the fourteenth place among the 27 Brazilian capitals in terms of speed of communication, and there are no numbers in Pará city between the ten best years at the national level.
In the total Internet quality classification, which analyzed more than 2,600 cities, Pará is among the worst countries, as it occupies the seventh position among countries with the worst speeds. Regarding the northern region, Belim is ranked fifth among the seven capitals, behind Rio Branko, Puerto Felho, Manus and Palm. In general, six municipalities in the north are among the ten with the best performance in the country, but none of the paragraph emerges between the fastest. The municipality of Ura de Para, with the eighteenth place, is the best classification in the state.
Structural factors
To better understand this reality, the technology analyst at the Federal Institute in Para (IFPA) and communication specialist, Demethrius Lucena, explained research data and confirmed that the poor quality of the Internet in the state is the result of a group of structural and economic factors. “The higher the income, the lower the arrival and the worst of the quality,” Lucina said, the higher the quality of the quality, “she stressed the direct relationship between the population income and the available Internet quality.
Louena also notes that the communication infrastructure is still under development in the state. “There are opportunities for improvements, as long as there is support for local Internet providers,” he said. He added that the competition between service providers, taking advantage of the diversity of offers, can lead to the fragmentation of investments, which affect the quality of the service. In contrast to this scenario, the expert believes that investing in expanding the optical fiber network is very important, as well as creating partnerships between the public and private sectors to ensure greater quality reaching quality.
Solutions
Complex geography and limited infrastructure of the northern region makes it difficult to expand high -speed connection. “The solution is to implement public policies that encourage the expansion of infrastructure, including the appointment of visual fibers for state fibers on local service providers,” Lucina proposed to highlight the importance of initiatives that meet regional characteristics.
Regional service providers who can provide a high -quality internet, such as Fibralink and WLAN, represent how local knowledge and specific investments can be effective. However, Lucina notes that the lack of incentives and an unfavorable organizational environment still limits the expansion of these service providers. “It is necessary to create financing lines and technical support for young and medium service providers, as well as motivate partnerships with local governments,” he said.
With Cop 30 in Belém, the expert sees an opportunity to enhance the city’s digital infrastructure. It indicates that a major investment is needed to ensure faster and faster internet. “Certainly, the expansion of optics and the availability of free Wi-Fi points in strategic locations would change the truth of many families,” said Lucina, noting how digital inclusion can positively affect the population.
In addition, optical fibers are indicated in Brazil and the use of artificial intelligence as essential factors to improve communication in Barra in the coming years. Lucina suggests that in order for this update to be effective, it is necessary to invest in infrastructure, online financing providers and train professionals from the telecommunications industry.
For Lucena, the Climate Conference Infrastructure is a major step to convert Belém into a communication model for the northern region and Brazil.
