@Wash, poolay sana on the Orange 3g+ issue. I've been a strong user of the service since they launched and has worked out pretty well until recently they went totally crazy. I lost an account that had taken a few weeks to build because 3g+ ftp could only let me download files @60kbps while I could http @250kbps. No matter what I tried, the ftp issue remained and my response was needed on an overnight urgency thing after reviewing the files etc. That's another story but I think the trend for mobile operators is becoming clear = how much to push through a narrow spectrum = internet protocol torture. I think for me I'd avoid wimax because of mobility limitations so am chancing the iBurst platform. The people who designed iBurst knew what they were doing and am sincerely hoping AFOLs implementation has been done well. I'm almost out of options on service providers while I have plenty of gear that is slowly becoming part of the furniture.

Aki,

Your praise of 3G+ is what made me start using it. Now I have to look for a human to blame, and guess who that is?:-)

Surely, http works pretty well on 3G+ and Safaricom 3G. Just now, my computer could not update  Adobe Flash Player. The message? "Please make sure you are connected to the Internet and try again". Firefox however opens my gmail.com window without a problem! You are just so right. Internet Protocol torture!!!

The reason I am thinking of using Queen Bee's link is because they are the only provider with true redundancy to the Internet. For this reason I cannot go on an experimental spree with iBurst - a technology of yesterday.

QB's WiMAX connection rates are just way too high, compared to other providers. Zuku, OTOH, gives cheap links which don't perform for such needs as VoIP.

At the moment I am so confused on who gives reliable service.
