So recently wazi wifi has been worse and slower than my phones 2G network. Trying to get some help from the Wazi team has proven pointless and I guess its time to buy a modem and go back to pay for what you use services. Wazi wifi was good, until it started disconnecting every 5 minutes. I dont have the time and patience for a network that doesnt suit my needs and costs me more
It is for the same reason that I wish Safaricom make billions in profit this year. I am yet to come accross a provider who wants to sell Internet, and they seem to be doing so involuntarily. Airtel is congested, and their 3G still needs some work. Orange insist modem users don't need one day unlimited Internet, and appear shocked when you tether their one day unlimited on the phone, which lately has had speeds capped such that it doesn't even feel like 3G. Their fair usage policy is inconsistent, meaning you have no idea what you are paying for. At ksh 40, its a bargain, but I'd rather pay Safaricom ksh 200 and get Internet I can use. ISPs are busy "investing into our own fibre networks to give more value to shareholders ". In short, with more than 50 registered ISPs, only 1 is effectively serving Kenya's 38 million citizens.
Oops, maybe I spoke too early, After trying to connect to Safaricom, and nothing happening. Seems I can only access Internet today on Airtel - and maybe their congestion is as a result of everyone else suffering from the same problem?

Appears we barely have sub-marine Internet as of the moment. why don;t I get an SMS warning me of such, so that I can know if not to buy unlimited Internet. Of course I will get a promotional SMS delivered promptly - priorities? I am sure my rants are as exciting as the promotional SMS from one provider
Looks like you are in a ranty mood today Fiber got cut... So the net feels like it used to in 2007 :) On 2/25/12, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

I also remember in 2007, it took a while to have the election results, just like it took a whole day to know the fibre, just off Mombasa, had been cut. Now, if they had communicated earlier during the day, I would have gate crashed a wedding, rather than spend the whole day trying to watch "Dubstep Hipster Cat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI4UJyyIfws"
that explains it.. who cut the fiber this time around? surely not those guys trying to repair mombasa road... (or is it nairobi road when youre in mombasa? On Sat, Feb 25, 2012 at 11:18 PM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

The cut is in the ocean, and Seacom seems to be having problems. Traffic is been routed through Telkom (at least for Airtel and Telkom - EASSY?)
