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 http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet This message was sent to: gerhard.may@gmail.com Unsubscribe or change your options at http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/gerhard.may%40gmail.com ##################################################################################### NOTE: All emails sent from Safaricom Limited are subject to Safaricoms Email Terms & Conditions.
