21 Sep '11

PS. Fail to understand why I can't start a new thread on this mailing list... I can reply to discussion but can't start new thread :( ********************************* Subject - Anyone has tried Orange EVDO ?? As said priorly, tired of slow AK connection and lack of new products... so I want to change provider Decided to forget Zuku due to poor customer service despite cheap price ! I know Safaricom has also something similar but there is deposit of 3500 kshs + router at 6500 kshs and it is not cheap (6999 kshs per month) - http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:twG71Ag_pcQJ:www.safaricom.co.ke/… So I want to try the Orange Internet Broadband, the one with D-Link router + EVDO Internet Modem + 10 GB monthly (if exceed, 0.46 kshs/MB) at 5 290 kshs per month - http://orange.co.ke/complex/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=18… Now, anyone using it ?? How is the D-Link router ?? What's the speed during and outside peak hours + location ?

INTERESTING HOW LEARNED PEOPLE OPERATE
by David Nyamboki 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Hey people what came out of the discussion we previously heard regarding having an association of ICT proffesionals. It rather interesting how learned people operate. Lawyer have there own. Architects the same medics and so on so forth. I didn't quit get why we are hesitant in coming up with same thing of our own. The computer Society of Kenya has no intrests of our own. And it would be in our advantage to have somthing of our own. just seen smthing for developer and am impressed http://www.ssdk.or.ke. People let reason together.
