I. INTRODUCTION
There are billions of people using electronic gadgets around the world [7]. By 2018, it has been estimated that there are over seven billion electronic gadgets used by accessing the internet continuously [9]. Accessing the internet is an important feature of today’s electronic gadgets [14]. Smartphones are no longer just phones but mobile multimedia devices are the same as tablets and laptops [21]. Social media, internet services, multimedia applications, and others are the cause of persistent demand by consumers, which has led to the rapid increase in the use of electronic gadgets today [20]. For example, in 2013 the average download rate was almost 1.4 Megabit per second, which nearly tripled the average speed from 2012 which is only 520 Kilobits per second [12].
