[kictanet] Kenya has faster mobile internet speeds than the United States — Quartz

[Job Muriuki]

The high cost of local loops is just alarming. It's cheaper buying internet
connections and setting up VPNs than buying actual loops.
I keep asking internet service providers to offer local traffic twice or
thrice as fast for each megabit of international traffic in order to
utilise tge idle local capacity but none is willing.
