Orange has announced that it is firmly on course to retain its position as the leader in the data market, with the launch of its new 21Mbps network. Telkom Kenya CEO Mickael Ghossein said the new best-in-class network, with speeds of up to 21Mbps, will make it possible for mobile and computer-based users to derive maximum data values from Orange. For the discerning mobile user, Orange has unveiled another first for Kenya by introducing a range of HD Voice devices that would be readily available in all its stores countrywide. HD Voice capability enables customers to experience high definition voice calls, only available through Orange. As the true integrated operator, Orange has also unveiled a range of high speed internet devices for use across all consumer segments and announced a new data tariff structure that will see customers browse the net for as low as 0.40 cts per MB to a maximum of Kshs 4 per MB, for Pay as You Go service. In line with its simplicity proposition, the CEO also confirmed that these rates would be applicable across all its internet platforms. Another first for the market was the launch of a 3G shared broadband Wi-Fi router - Business Broadband which enables 6-10 users to connect to the internet at the same time, via a plug and play device. The Business Broadband becomes the first available wireless router in the market that is compatible to both GSM and CDMA networks and works on both Windows and Mac based operating systems. Orange, which currently has the highest number of wireless broadband subscribers, unveiled its new Internet Everywhere modem that offers speeds of upto 21Mbps that will retail at a most affordable price of Kshs 6,999/-. Customers will also have the ability to manage and control internet abuse through the newly launched parental control software that can be downloaded free of charge from the Orange portal. Ends.../

Has anyone achieved anything close to this 21Mbps or is it a theoretical 21 Mbps...? If so, please post a screenshot of your speed test... Timo. p.s. I tried the Orange 3G jana using the kawaida $afcon branded (unlocked) modem and I must say, I am very impressed, seems faster than $afcon's 3G...

21mbps is just theoretical and varies depending on a number of things. Like in many wireless technologies you can only get about half of the theoretical speeds in real life. -- Regards, Job Njogu Muriuki, Phone: (+254) - 772333075 | 736333075 Skype: heviejob | Yahoo: heviejob Address: 42665 00100 Nrb
