There is absolutely no difference between what Telkom does everyday and what Deci and other pyramid money businesses have done to hapless Kenyans. Think of the millions of shillings, (could actually be billions for all you and I know), are raking in every month on this poor and overpriced internet service. The speeds we pay for 32/128 are bogus. We never get there. When you are downloading something you might hit may be 90 something kb/sec, but immediately you notice the quick deterioration of download speed to a mere 15 if you are lucky, otherwise it can be as low as 5.3 kb/sec or lower. This is the kind of speed we used to have on dial-up connections. My GPRS does a better job at times than ADSL! The six million dollar question is, who will deliver Kenyans from the the thousands of nyangaus who seem determined to off-load any little money we might have?
