People are heave-hoing pulling fibre over KPLC lines to the homes and small offices. Anyone with an idea whether for Fibre connection we should go for:
1) Jamii
2) Wananchi
3) Safaricom
4) Any one else?

I hear the issue is not the fiber connection per se, but the bandwidth alloted. And that the term Shared is now very abused...

I use Wananchi because it comes with triple play (TV, internet and a phone I have NEVER used)

Go for jamii fibre if you want super fast speeds that you really do not need for residential use otherwise i would recommend Zuku triple pay as it is affordable and fast.

If its for home use go for Zuku

Ooops thanks guys, almost missed the feedback.
Thanks again and I confirm tests do indeed show:

1) Faiba as fastest in Cable with only 4 users sharing their 10mbps connection that goes for 10,000/= monthly. They also seem to have a quiet 5,000/= monthly option

2) Orange wireless Black modems very fast. In fact speed almost equivalent to Cable. They have introduced a new 3,000/= unlimited offer with fair usage policy.


Though offering tri-play and reasonable, Zuku was a bit disappointing because their 8mbps shared connection is between 20 people. 7.2mpbs speed to their office but a paltry 560kbps to Internet (US).

Ooh we should also have talked about reliability.
Some trouble in the Zuku paradise...
