@alma; true my first disappointing trial was 2 years ago. like you I assumed a lot has changed and re-applied in July 2010 and got disappointed yet again. I just crave for that day where we will have true optic fibre connection. But it might not happen soon with the players such as Safaricom controlling a big chunk of the already landed fibre. reason; with true connection, we just go skype and such other voip providers………

c'mon wat's with the attitude?
This is just a discussion so if u ain't ready to get corrected u goin to have to put ur ego on check n move on!

N again i insist there's no way 1Mbps is goin to be better than 2Mbps regardless of the network.

Elder thanks for ur contribution but the problem is that u r concentrating on just one line 1Mbps on fibre will be better any day than 2Mbps orange.

well if u read further he concluded 8Mbps on fibre is better than 3G any company and cheaper too.

If u read that last line then u will understand where am comin from.

Btw there is a difference between claiming to be offering 2Mbps and actually offering it.

Coz when u really run the speed test orange never hits 2Mbps.

So instead of comparing the marketing speeds lets compare the real speeds from speed test.

@infinity, when you get a fibre experience, pls come and lets compare notes.

Theory is nice but I like practical things such as

Again pls don't misquote me. Now that is really an ego thing on my part.

now make your own conclusions by buying the damn things from these Kenyan providers.

I am one of the biggest skeptics when it comes to internet connectivity in Kenya. But Zuku really did surprise me. I went over to my cousin's place a few wks back to spend the weekend. They r hooked up to zuku and i have to say that is one consistent, strong and reliable connection. they have been using it for a few months now and are not disappointed. they got the Kshs. 4,500 option. Zuku is based in westi, so don't expect to put up a connection in ngong and expect it to work well. it all depends on signal strength. that's my two cents. all the best.
