My previous statement was a quote by Bobby Collymore when he was complaining about a small group of users who are ripping off safaricom.

Anyway, The ISPs in Kenya still have got a road to travel before they meet a quarter of what they advertise.

FYI, there is another cable fault [1] and I hope we are not going to be internet-less for a week or so..

Stephen,

On a fibre connection with enough bandwidth, even will all the users doing large downloads, you should be able to get at least 20% of the advertised bandwidth. This is called Quality of Service (QoS). The other day, I was getting 1%.

Which means that Zuku either:

1. Have too many customers for the infrastructure... or
2. Have too little bandwidth available for all their customers.

Any third option?

I have gotten close to 8mpbs (high 7's) with my Turbo 8 but only at off hours (like 4am).  The bandwidth is shared so it depends who else in your neighborhood is online and what they are downloading.  I have definitely noticed that lately in the evening my speed has dropped drastically compared to a few months back but it jumps back up after 11pm.

It looks like my friend was right... I am with Turbo 4 and rarely exceed 1
Mbps

Anybody here with Turbo 1 ??

I am not at home so I can't ping test but I am sure that with my Turbo 4 I
get the same speed that Brian with his Turbo 8; and that guys on Turbo 1
get the same than us !!
