We had a livebox (broadband turbo) brought to the office on 22nd April, technician showed up on 24th April.
First had issues with the authentication, then when it was up and running it was pretty good for the 12 Computers on the LAN.
We had quite a number of downtimes, and the worst was three days continuous (same authentication issue).
Generally the speed is OK.
Cons
-Maybe individual but the authentication error really annoyed
-Support is generally slow.
-You'll need a firewall after the livebox to have proper control.

Anybody used the orange USB dongle, how are the speeds on it?

@Brian,
My response was based on experience with the USB dongle. If you need me to get some figures on the performance, then just let me know what application I need to use to gather consistent data for your curiosity and I will spare some time to do it.
I have two friends at the mentioned locations from whom I can gather the data.
PS: I am quite happy with Safaricom 3G and IIRC, MJ said that the billing model is going to change and I can only take that to mean "cheaper" KES/MB :)
