Looking for a reliable Home internet connection
Hi All I am looking for a fast Internet connection for Home use. I right now have the Safaricom USB Modem which is excellent performing even better that my office connection ( AccessKenya). It is however turining out to be expensive as I have to fork out 1000 shs to recharge every 3 or 4 days. Im considering taking the Broadband Nyumbani from Orange and wanted opinions from fellow skunkers on how its performance is and are they on Seacom yet like Safcom. Cheers Kevin
Hi Kevin - Orange is OK, except their DNS servers used to be a mess so I sometimes use OpenDNS. Orange was not yet routing via Seacom as of last night. The Livebox is just a branded ADSL modem which makes their support easier. The service has been stable to me for a while now. Ksh5990 unlimited is not bad.

I got Zuku during the half price promo about the time when they were (negatively) featuring on this list. 2 months down the road I'd rate it AG (All Good). 2009/7/27 Ben Parker <swampcottage@gmail.com>
