Earlier tonight, when viewing a high definition myspace.com video, i realised it was buffering extremely fast... and looking at the speeds i was getting, they were off this world.. an average of 1.7Mbps all through.
Possibilities:
- myspace.com is hosted locally
- very few subs on safcon - but at 9pm, am sure we were many..
- they have given video priority..
- they were testing the seacom fiber
Unfortunately, couldnt do ping / tracert / other tests at that time, and now am back to super slow speeds...
Is this the start of the sub-marine era for us? If this is a sign of things to come .. bring it on!
An engineer friend at Safaricom told me she's been working so hard at improving the 3G service, so that we stop calling it 0.3G, so yes, Safaricom has been "doing something" on 3G on a serious note.
SEACOM Fiber installation is not yet!
