Watson,

That will never happen. All of them will be 0.2Mbps or less. I am on 8Mbps and I get 0.05Mbps - 0.2Mbps on a speedtest to London.

Hello Job,

Going by this, "As is the case with all broadband services, users of Zuku share the available international bandwidth capacity that connects them to Internet content located outside Kenya via the more expensive international fibre optic links. ZUKU’S INTERNATIONAL BANDWIDTH IS CONTENDED BY ALL USERS IN PROPORTION TO THE QUOTED LOCAL BANDWIDTH SPEED. The sharing of Zuku international bandwidth capacity is designed to deliver the best possible residential user experience and quality of service to all residential users in a fair and equitable manner." ,My experience should thus reflect what am paying for I mean if the speedtest to London for the 1Mbps is 0.2Mbps then the 8Mbps should be 8 times that and the guy on 20Mbps should get 20 times that. Ama am getting it all wrong??

Kind regards,

Watson Kambo

Zuku's Triple-play/fair-user-policy.html

A pull out from from the above link

"You can subscribe one of three Internet bandwidth options – 1Mbps, 8Mbps or 20Mbps. The bandwidth speed quoted in Tariff Guide and on your bill is the downstream local bandwidth between Zuku datacentres located in Kenya and the Customer’s site. Unlike with many broadband services, ZUKU’S LOCAL BANDWIDTH IS NOT SHARED OR CONTENDED. You are able to enjoy the maximum speeds at the quoted Internet bandwidth to download content that is hosted at Zuku datacentres and we do not limit the amount of data, or the speed at which you download any content between the Zuku datacentres in Kenya and Customer’s Site. For example, if one person at the Customer’s Site is watching a YouTube video, it will stream down to that person at the maximum speed of your connection i.e. 1Mbps, 8Mbps or 20Mbps (because YouTube is localized at Zuku datacentres in Kenya). However, if 4 household members at the Customer’s Site watch different YouTube videos at the same time, each will get 0.25Mbps, 2Mbps and 5Mbps respectively for subscriptions of 1Mbps, 8Mbps or 20Mbps Internet access component of Zuku Triple-play service. Therefore, the higher the Internet speed subscribed to, the better the experience for each user sharing a single Internet connection at the Customer’s Site.

As is the case with all broadband services, users of Zuku share the available international bandwidth capacity that connects them to Internet content located outside Kenya via the more expensive international fibre optic links. ZUKU’S INTERNATIONAL BANDWIDTH IS CONTENDED BY ALL USERS IN PROPORTION TO THE QUOTED LOCAL BANDWIDTH SPEED. The sharing of Zuku international bandwidth capacity is designed to deliver the best possible residential user experience and quality of service to all residential users in a fair and equitable manner."
