Well....there are providers who had to sign into long-term contracts because that was the cheapest way to do it...<br>...then on came the submarine cable...I&#39;m still interested to see alternative ways of how providers can/will recoup back investments...<br>

The EastAfrican has established that the providers are swamped with excess capacity after signing 25-year contracts for the biggest bandwidth tiers of 155mbps -- which, according to those in the know, is unlikely to be used within the contract period. Indeed, all that the providers are likely to sell is about 30mbps, but someone has to pay for the surplus -- inevitably, this will be the consumer<br>
