Speed Comparison
Maroc Telecom’s FTTH fiber delivers up to 1 Gbps, five times Inwi’s 200 Mbps maximum. For heavy internet users, the speed gap is significant. Maroc Telecom’s fiber network is also more widely deployed.
On ADSL, both operators deliver similar speeds since they share underlying copper infrastructure. ADSL performance depends on distance from the exchange, not the operator.
For mobile, Maroc Telecom has wider 4G LTE coverage. In cities, both operators deliver adequate mobile speeds. Inwi’s fixed-wireless option provides an alternative broadband connection in areas without fiber or good ADSL.
