The internet in Afghanistan was banned during the reign of the Taliban which resulted in the increasing isolation of a country and its people. This ban meant that it was very difficult keeping in touch with relatives and friends elsewhere in the world and resulted in a lack of world news and information.
Internet in Afghanistan has been available in the country since 2003 but the number of people using the internet in Afghanistan is still relatively small. The internet in Afghanistan has only a million users out of a population of about 29 million but there has been a noted boom in the usage of the internet in Afghanistan.
Although there are about 5 different companies that currently provide internet in Afghanistan, Neda Telecommunications has become the Internet Service Provider of choice in this country. Neda Telecommunications was established in May 2003 and was one of the first licensed Internet Service Providers in Afghanistan. It has over the years become the leading ISP and WISP in Afghanistan.
The operation has grown and is now considered a major player in the country carrying over 30 Mbps on its networks.
