KDN fibre to Home
by alkags＠gmail.com 04 Aug '11

I'm thinking of working with Swift Global to set my house up with a hotspot. They say they have fibre in my estate and so they can plug me right into it.

The social curation opportunity for small and medium sized businesses
by Mbugua Njihia 04 Aug '11

Can fibre just be vurutwad (i.e. pulled in)...discretely into my building...?
by Timothy Mutugi 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

I am in a building along Moi Avenue, the landlord is very slow and shallow...I only bear with him because the place is cheap... ...anyway, I wanted to have fiber pulled into the building so that I can sambaza it to other tenants and make some $... ...I know there is fiber nearby because I saw some digging going on several months ago. Someone at on of the local providers told me that I dont even have to talk to the landlord so as to have fiber vurutwad (i.e. pulled in) into the building... My dear skunks/skunkettes/skunklings, is this true? If so, please talk to me OFF LIST or ON LIST if you can vuruta this fiber for me...let's make some $... Timo. p.s. I have 0% knowledge of fiber or is it fibre...all I know is that it is supposed to be super fast...
