I am also surprised that a certain ISP taht prides itself in corporate connectivity and customers, would rather invest $ 100 M in metro fibre (great news for shareholders who understand nilch) than buy extra capacity to mitigate. In fact , I have no idea why Safaricom is not taking this time to sell their fibre to frustrated corporates. An affected banker told me yesterday that Western Union and Moneygram have to be up, he cannot tell customers that he does not have Internet due to fiber cuts and therefore they cannot get their money. In fact, according to Wipro, many CIOs pride themselves in hardware uptime, while customers are still having issues transacting due to service downtime (IT departments will pass blame on who is to blame for a router downtime, the DBs and network were 99.9% up)
