I wonder if I'm the only one who's experiencing slow Internet since yesterday - both official and personal connection. Anyone knows what's going on?<br>

You removed this post directly from my fingers (if I may be allowed to paraphrase). There has been general slow service across most service providers. From Zuku and Access Kenya who are my service providers the standard response when you inquire is that there is a service interruption.<br>
<br>
This interruption of service in the Internet Service Provision sector has now become a major issue that needs to be addressed urgently. The unconfirmed reports are that Seacom and Teams are both 'down' (Pun intended). As far as I know and I stand corrected is that no one has issued a concise statement to the public to explain this issue.<br>
<br>
This makes a non-sense of our road to Silicon Savannah.<br>
