@Watchie,

None of the ISPs have given us anything close to 64K let alone 256K. I have streamed an entire soccer match on Safaricom bambanet with very little breakage.

While you were out for 10 years, we were building the networks, and the quality and reach still leaves alot to be desired of. Welcome back to Kenya, and learn to live within the constraints, trust me internet is the least of them ;-)

Kiania D.

PS. I have an Accesskenya link at home, It cant compare to Safcom. (Sorry Raymond it's the truth)

I'm sure this is a leap forward from everyone. And i'm sure it'll satisfy a lot more people but, for those of us who've had the chance to taste speeds in other countries about ten years ago, and up to as recently as this year, it makes a difference knowing how much the local ISP's make off the consumers. I can confidently say they've made at least if not more, 2 - 3 Million from my spending between home and Work use over the past twelve years.

And i'll also say this about the infrastructure that keeps getting mentioned. SC#$W the Infrastructure.

This has nothing to do with the infrastructure.

It has everything to do with wanting to make more money. I can get in to details about how much i despise what's happening but i'd rather make a difference. So.

Can anyone get me the numbers of TEAMS or SEACOM or KDN with a direct reference point?
