Kitendawili!!! I am shopping for an ISP. I need a dedicated 1Mbps link. I already have one with AK, and I am happy with them, but I need a different provider to use for VoIP. No Satellite please. WiMax or Fiber as the last mile is just fine. Quality MUST be excellent - to support VoIP. My budget is $350 Max. Who is the ISP??? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

WOL - I thought they could deliver, but I am three weeks into taking up their link on WiMAX, but the quality has not been good since they installed (they say it's something at the BS they linked me to) and they are not looking like they will resolve it soon. I really have no time as my Voice system needs to be working. KDN - Rule them out kabisa! I ditched them for WOL, because they could not resolve link quality even after 1 year. Any more suggestions?? I need connectivity asap. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Tega!! When a person does not know what it is, then it is something; but when a person knows what it is, then it is nothing. :-) @Wash, quick one. Biggest investor in seacom is safcom therefore less chances of voip issues. Redundancy via teams 22% share, I believe? Ask for 1:1 for your voip. Though am a bit surprised about WOL. Seems they have a good link on teams. If you have the budget for Telkom/Orange E1, then this is highly recommended on teams and eassy. Wimax and fiber switching locally may not be really good on sensitive data packets unless prioritized for your specific needs. Any knowledge of customer services is beyond my scope. Baadaye...

Aki, do you know if they have their prices published anywhere, like on their website? The last time I tried to find the information, I was taken round several phone calls, finally told to write to corporatesales@safaricom.co.ke, which never responded.

No idea.
Ask for 1:1 for your voip.
Yeppe. That is what I want.
Though am a bit surprised about WOL.
WOL are good with support. That, I've been impressed with. The actual problem is that I am linked to a BS that is NOT connected on Fiber. That is what the techies told me. I get high latencies between my node and the gateway on their side, and it even times out. The link, as it is now, is not even good for ordinary Internet use. The price is very good, and they say it is dedicated (1:1) but no proof though. I've had issues from day one and given that this voice service is critical, I'd better be shopping than wait indefinitely because I do not know when they will put BS on fiber.
Seems they have a good link on teams.
Perhaps. My problem, so far, is just the last mile -- on the WiMax. If you have the budget for Telkom/Orange E1, then this is highly recommended
on teams and eassy.
I just hate this business of ISP shopping! -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

They contacted me. Waiting for a quotation from them. Can you post a traceroute to gmail.com, as well as a ping (-c 20 on Unix or -n 20 on Winblows) from your end? What bandwidth are you taking with them? You can answer me privately if you find public posting not okay though I believe there is nothing worth hiding:) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
