And just for the record to show what is possible on a 3g nework, am now recording download speeds of around 474KB/sec to the same ubuntu test download server on the uk. That 474KB/sec = 3.2Mbps! The network latencies are very stable, 0% packet losses and max latencies of 400ms. Youtube streaming is like playing back downloaded clips, no buffering at all.
If Orange is on skunks, can we please get 800KB/sec and more on the HSPA+ network ( 21Mpbs network ) ?

Over and out.

I finally got the Orange 3g network working after purchasing the flybox @ a new price of Ksh12,999/-, purchased the 10GB bundle @4,999/-. At the moment am doing 315 to 384KB/sec downloads to an ubuntu test download in the uk! Like totally impressed, hope they don't slow it down after this email..... just goes to show and proves that when things are done correctly, the sky is the limit. :-)
I also managed to get the HSPA+ ( the new 21Mbps network ) working on the Orange USB modem, the speeds were relatively slower than expected @ around 80-140KB/sec so almost on par with the regular 3g networks. Hope Orange will tweak the HSPA network to exceed speeds of regular 3g.
