True that.

Again. The report wasn't about Penetration but about speeds..So maybe the report needs to substitute Kenya with Nairobi? :-)

Ali,

100 KMs from Nairobi, upcountry, in a relatively built up area, the speeds are horrendous....

Was benchmarking this (www.kionjo.com) over the weekend and on both Safaricom & Airtel the load times for home page was 1-2 mins which is about 5KB/s considering an initial download is abt 300KBs

Those Akamai figures I am not sure where they got them from but its definately not anything close across the country...

True that Barrack. 

The point though was not penetration rate but speed. This is something (penetration rate) that needs addressing soonest.

Hi Ali,

This is not surprising , be that as it may, i hope we can get such glorification of our connectivity from our Counties since the quality of connectivity in most places beyond Nairobi is wanting.

Best Regards

Interesting arguments going on around this subject. Apparently the Australian Prime is miffed by the suggestion that we can have faster Internet connections than Australia.. Surely that's not possible!!!??? :-)

When Bloomberg highlighted that Kenya’s internet was ranked faster than Australia’s in the latest Akamai’s State of Internet report, the Australian Prime Minister did not take it lightly. To understand the backstory, Australia invested $38 Billion in a National Broadband Network (NBN) infrastructure that was meant to “spearhead a digital revolution.” The situation on the ground is that the project has been mismanaged by the government leading to costs overrun and construction delays.

Surely Kenya can't have faster connectivity than Australia!!
