Hi listers,
I have been following the Fibre hullabaloo with keen interest hoping to go to the office and find my ISP has decided to offer us a 1 MB pipe for the same amount we are currently paying but that has not been the case that I am tired. Some time back on this forum I read a post that in SA the ISP's had already dropped their prices long b4 the fibre landed.
The question or point of interest is Safcom,do these guys want to replace traditional ISP's? I mean look at their data services now, I have always tried to give them deaf ears coz of how they seriously go for your wallet but hey I gonna give em credit now. Look at their speeds now - for them its not a thing of we are testing our service on fibre as has been the talk from with other ISP's who are now targeting Rich estates for their Internet services not forgetting that those bosses use laptops hence modems which is faster hence rarery use Internet at home.
Im not a Literature writter but my worry or concern or prayer is for these ISP's to stop playing safe and dive into business with all there is to offer coz I think it will be too late for them when Safcom has finally established good, strong and deep roots in data business like the have done in GSM (now even toppling or coming close to threatening their client base is a nightmare enuf).
I think this is very serious guys, U know Kenyans once they find or create a trend and to be sincere one of the Big banks here is already using Safcom Broadband services for WAN communication.
My call is to these ISP's to stop acting so co-operate!!!
