So far we have these recommended:- Zuku@home Access@home<mailto:Access@home> Safaricom WiMAx Any information on speed and costs? I wish such information was available at a one-stop-shop for consumers with analytical tools to cutomize to ones needs! Broadband for homes seems elusive!

The service availability is less then 20% in the last 8 weeks and speed got very slow. Predominantly less than 100kb/s. Need to look for an alternative solution.

I see cable installation everywhere, but I have not come across a provider aggressively advertising to Kenyans for broadband to the homes. Am I living in my own world? Anyone has an idea of a reliable provider with clean bandwidth to homes (not the “bamba” type connections) Edith _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke<mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet This message was sent to: <mailto:gerhard.may@gmail.com> gerhard.may@gmail.com<mailto:gerhard.may@gmail.com> Unsubscribe or change your options at <http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/gerhard.may%40gmail.com> http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/gerhard.may%40gmail.com
