generally costs more , presumably better contention ratios and you get different customer service.

i can give you my opinion regarding corporate services ...since for home use i dont have any experience with uncapped bandwidth providers.

onecom - the experience was brief -- they took very long to setup survey, equipment, connection etc. the speeds were appalling, customer service promised the moon on a stick. finally, they simply gave up and stopped taking my calls.

kdn - the speeds were reasonably good, but erratic at times. customer service was simply the pits - you could never get through to anyone. finally if you got through to anyone they took down your details - but nothing happened after that -- and follow up calls yielded no traces of your previous call....

accesskenya - speeds reasonably good, erratic at times. customer service - there is usually someone to pickup the phone, record your complaint give you a ticket number -- and they do follow up.

my biggest problem with all the isps is that no one provides reliable bandwidth statistics. everyone gives dedicated bandwidth statistics from office premises to isp premises ... i want "dedicated" bandwidth usage figures on international terminations which all the isps. when they sell me "dedicated" bandwidth ... i never really recieved the "dedicated" part. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet

safaricom seem to be the ones. .  .heard they are offering wimax @ 6k a month. . . shoot them an email. . .

OneCom was actually safaricom wimax ... the last time i dealt with them... which didnt have a happy ending.

@Rad; Jambonet (Telkom Kenya) can give you dedicated bandwidth over the copper infrastructure since the transmission is Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) based. The catch is, the location that requires service should not be prone to frequent cable vandalism like the CDB. This is at PDH level ; at SDH, am not sure of providers that offer dedicated bandwidth. Just as a suggestion, if your requirement is to connect the servers in CBD/Milimani/Lavington, you may consider a VPN solution using local loops in comparison to doing IP Sec on the Internet.

I've never understood the distinction between 'corporate' and 'personal' use. Won't i won't a fast connection and quality service either way? Can anyone explain why there's a distinction?

generally costs more , presumably better contention ratios and you get different customer service.

i can give you my opinion regarding corporate services ...since for home use i dont have any experience with uncapped bandwidth providers.

onecom - the experience was brief -- they took very long to setup survey, equipment, connection etc. the speeds were appalling, customer service promised the moon on a stick. finally, they simply gave up and stopped taking my calls.

kdn - the speeds were reasonably good, but erratic at times. customer service was simply the pits - you could never get through to anyone. finally if you got through to anyone they took down your details - but nothing happened after that -- and follow up calls yielded no traces of your previous call....

accesskenya - speeds reasonably good, erratic at times. customer service - there is usually someone to pickup the phone, record your complaint give you a ticket number -- and they do follow up.

my biggest problem with all the isps is that no one provides reliable bandwidth statistics. everyone gives dedicated bandwidth statistics from office premises to isp premises ... i want "dedicated" bandwidth usage figures on international terminations which all the isps. when they sell me "dedicated" bandwidth ... i never really recieved the "dedicated" part. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet
