Kenya sadly is losing out. We are no longer the Food capital (Uganda is), Tech Capital (Rwanda - They already have a national data-center running, with vSphere running), Democratic Symbol (Tanzania). I think as a country, people focus too much on lost glory. That's the sad thing. We are unable to guarantee even the most basic of things, no water, power, soon air etc

wow !!!

now with the fibre arriving from kenya, they should be miles ahead of us by the time our own fiber dust and politics settles...

I will not be surpised if Rwanda is covered with faster internet services before Kenya - despite the fact that the cable comes from Kenya, goes thru Uganda - and finally into Rwanda.



=======

Current office speeds in Kenya [after fibre] = 0.78 mbps  [takes 150 min to download 800mb movie -but speeds are not true, could go as low as 4 kbps]

Wireless [wi-fi] links in Lesotho a small country = 27 mbps [takes 20 min to download 800mb movie - speed goes as low as 12 mbps]

-Now imagine an ethernet cable link

Where is our fiber ?
