Another thing to note is that the advertised speeds/bandwidth are max bit rate and not guaranteed bit rate.

Jangita,

 

Speed does not change. It only has an upper limit that is 3.1MBytesps(Good luck getting that unless you are in an EVDO area and are the only user

 

in the cell tower) however what makes the bundle slow sometimes is the traffic in the cell tower in which you are. For example westlands,

 

parklands, CBD on all days except Sundays, Nairobi west and south c have high number of users so expect an average of 128Kbytes. Reasonable

 

enough unless you are a heavy heavy user or have a hangover from broadband abroad- that’s a joke!. Worst case scenario you’ll be able to get 32-64Kbytes per second. Workable considering where we are coming from in the Kenya data market

 

Note that I insist on using bytes as a full word since a certain company uses Bits where bytes would do much better.
