I think local internet lines are lousy at best. Too much sharing!! Exactly and this causes confusion among consumers cause someone from Access kenya for example will claim his 512K is really fast(since they offer dedicated and he's using it alone.) But on the other hand a guy using Zuku 512K will bet that it is the slowest thing (since they are on shared network and he might be sharing that line with like other 8 people thus giving him a max of 512/8 which is 64K)

What amazes me is the US isps are notorious for sharing...they load lines...yet they still do better than us. Makes you wonder what level of sharing goes on here...I wouldn't be surprise with 1Mb line having 100 or more subs... Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

I got connected to ZUKU the other day and my authoritative observation is that the slowest tariff i.e (Turbo1 at 1MBPs and kshs 999 unlimited access per month) is faster than safcom's 3.6MB modem. The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.

Been using Turbo 1 for 2 months, at the monthly cost that is equivalent to three days Bambanet. I will soon apply for their cable and get rid of DSTV.

Hi guys, i use a 1Mbps from a KDN reseller, the net is so perfect for my 10 computer cyber cafe and 15 wifi clients and i only pay 8,000 per month. If anyone within Nairobi wants a connection i can refer you to someone. Plus they do the survey plus the connection before installation. Installation fee is only 14,000 inclusive of that month's pay.

I have been using ZUKU Fiber for the last 2 years now (R 20- 20Mbs). Its very reliable, no disconnections, and within budget.

Let me say i am also a happy zuku customer. They do have occasional downtime but they send text messages to alert you. I use the R8. It is very budget friendly compared to Safaricom for example. I just couldn't deal with being charged per MB when they killed their unlimited internet. i have had it for quite a few years now.

I use R10. Semi-reliable at best, you'll be busy contacting their contact centre often, as service isn't so relaible. Speeds have improved (I was forced from R8 to R10 LOL). They are basically a monopoly now...there is no credible option other than them. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

[quote=hardwood]Zuku slashes monthly charges. http://www.businessdaily.../-/11oq1sx/-/index.html[/quote] That story talks of " a new service package, dubbed Zuku Infinite, which will see customers either subscribe for Internet and telephone services or Internet and pay television, or take third option that has telephone, Internet and pay television bundled together" The Zuku website only has the last option as before.Are they actually offering say Internet and telephone(That would be closest to internet only that I need)?If so whats the cost for 1 Mbps,10 Mbps?
