Traffic slowed down but all in all the link has been stable. You need to be told there is a problem to know there is a problem.

I disagree on the proactiveness of safcom…. KDN sent the below email to their clients including safcom who just forwarded it onwards….(with zero changes apart form signature) From: skunkworks-bounces@lists.my.co.ke [mailto:skunkworks-bounces@lists.my.co.ke] On Behalf Of Odhiambo Washington Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2010 3:32 PM To: Skunkworks Mailing List Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Safaricom: Slow internet speeds Can someone on Safaricom Internet link tell us how this issue with Seacom/Teams affected their service?

In defense of freedom of speech, that was not Hate Speech (even though it had the word "hate" ;-) Clare was expressing her opinion as we all do, skewed and with no need to substantiate. Am sure she has her reasons. Kiania D. On Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 9:29 AM, Bernard Mwagiru <bmwagiru@gmail.com> wrote:
