[kictanet] Internet to the Home

Best Solution I’ve found is the Mobicom 3G modem @ 6k. 

Orange dongle gets you 4GB at 2k which seems to be more than enough for a
couple of people for a month. 

Of course u can buy other unlimited bundles etc. as required. 

This solution is portable, u can configure the modem to any network,
Safaricom, Airtel etc.

Zuku is KSh.1,500 for 256Kbps. Equipment rental is an additional KSh500 and
initial setup is KSh3,000.

Other packages and combinations (broadband +cable TV) are on zuku.co.ke

So far we have these recommended:-

Zuku at home 

 <mailto:Access at home> Access at 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!

i have fibre to my home in Runda fr Icon Teledesic. 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.

Safaricom WiMax works beautifully for my home link, now considering taking
them up in the office to replace the unreliable Orange DeadBox.

Listers,

Just wanted to share an observation that despite the hype that fibre had
arrived on the Kenyan coast, it seems to be taking long for Broadband to
arrive in residential homes! 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
