Re: [Skunkworks] ZUKU's FIBRE INTERNET SPEED RIP OFF!!
I have gotten close to 8mpbs (high 7's) with my Turbo 8 but only at off hours (like 4am). The bandwidth is shared so it depends who else in your neighborhood is online and what they are downloading. I have definitely noticed that lately in the evening my speed has dropped drastically compared to a few months back but it jumps back up after 11pm.

It looks like my friend was right... I am with Turbo 4 and rarely exceed 1 Mbps
Anybody here with Turbo 1 ??
I am not at home so I can't ping test but I am sure that with my Turbo 4 I get the same speed that Brian with his Turbo 8; and that guys on Turbo 1 get the same than us !!

Which means that Zuku either: 1. Have too many customers for the infrastructure... or 2. Have too little bandwidth available for all their customers. Any third option? On Thu, Apr 26, 2012 at 11:42 AM, Josh Handley < josh@bridgeinternationalacademies.com> wrote:

Stephen, On a fibre connection with enough bandwidth, even will all the users doing large downloads, you should be able to get at least 20% of the advertised bandwidth. This is called Quality of Service (QoS). The other day, I was getting 1%. On Thu, Apr 26, 2012 at 1:54 PM, stephen wanjau <stevewanjau@wikimedia.or.ke

My previous statement was a quote by Bobby Collymore when he was complaining about a small group of users who are ripping off safaricom. Anyway, The ISPs in Kenya still have got a road to travel before they meet a quarter of what they advertise. FYI, there is another cable fault [1] and I hope we are not going to be internet-less for a week or so.. //Stephen. 1. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/h5fmd2 On Thu, Apr 26, 2012 at 2:12 PM, Brian Ngure <brian@pixie.co.ke> wrote:
