Let me ask most of the guys up here posted in 2006, has there been no changes since then? I'm looking up on the connection being provided by Celtel and Safcom respectively though I don't know how that well would work with a cyber. In addition I saw an article by KDN where they were to have 512kbps connection going for a monthly fee of 5000 by this here and a mobile leased line for 2500 per month.

Wish I had installed Popote or Flashcom. Now I have lost half of my clients to my competition, since am always rushing to their Peponi Office or Teleposter Towers in town as they never pick up their customer care phones. Such a big company yet they are just fleecing customers. Have no words for Telkom Am very frustrated with Telkom ADSL joined 2 months ago and since 23rd June 2008 they have the worst kind of service.

It becomes so slow after sometime that you have to wait for a whole 30 minutes in order to access Yahoo!!!. I would not recommend it to anyone. Afrca online Iburst connection is a total failure.

Telkom's ADSL sucks but i dont know how good the data service over their CDMA network is. Though the charges are pay per minute. I have a wireless connection with Africaonline - their infinet service. the technolgy is pretty decent (iburst from kyocera) and gives you a local loop of 1Mbps! But alas the internet bandwidth is not the same - its more like 80 - 100kbps. its fairly reliable - have had no issues on downtimes and support chaps are pretty helpful and accessible. I recommended this to a friend in Mombasa after they rolled out and they have been singing praises all through. It could be better priced though. There is the 8000 VAT service for an unlimited 24hrs service however if you are a heavy downloads guy they automatically shape your bandwidth so it gets degraded as you continue heavu downloads. This was my beef wih them and they pointed to the damn small print of the fair use policy. There is also a 4000 bob inclusive product that gives 7pm - 7am web access as well as all thru over w/ends. So far I have tested popote, flashcom, ADSL, Safcom's EDGE and wifi butterfly and can say africa online's service meets my needs (so far).
