From the traces so far..
It seems Zuku is going through Seacom. Safaricom is going through another channel - which we may assume is good satellite connection.. despite the latencies.. Unless there is a 4th secret undersea cable ???

So it seems Airtel has gone Seacom too ... Then why the complaints ? Have they just moved there and we are yet to see glowing comments ... Or they have been there since the crisis began but bought kidogo bandwidth ?

The speeds are ok so far, unless one is streaming. Better than AK fiber. Strange thing is why the traffic is being routed through Telkom

I suppose a direct set-up with Seacom could have taken more time ? So the obvious choice is to go through international gateway = Telkom.
