I asked kdn and they said they will need surveyors to have a look then give an option incase your particular hood doesnt have the fiber thingy. I hope they wont take forever.. I am paying an arm and a leg in comparison from access.

I know where I work we pay about 16,000 to AccessKenya for dedicated 512kbps down.

I've been following KDN travails but at these prices I don't care We need a connection now now now. I've started a strike in the office and management must yield.

What for 8,000/= we could be trying 5mpbs, even with 20% performance that's 1 mpbs

Isnt this the same kdn that was " the worst isp in the world" some few weeks ago. Buyer beware. What happened? What has changed?

I get dedicated service from access @ 512 down bandwidth and I get what I pay for. So far they are excellent. KDN must be utilising this seacom thingy and passing savings to consumer unlike other isp's? Prices overall should come down..

@Sheep....I think KDN would be happier as a partner to Safcom as opposed to being its competitor. I also think they should continue providing backhaul fiber cable as opposed to Wimax. Safcom is the one that should do Wimax not KDN.

Safcom has the base stations to support Wimax.....KDN on the other hand has fiber to interconnect those base stations at a low cost.Partners!

They also came and surveyed my place, said signal is weak and they are trying to resolve this.

KDN seems to have hit the perfect pricing, if only they had adequate distribution.

Meanwhile Access keeps exploiting custoemrs with a pathetically priced Valentines offer

called them, they sent one of their resellers who came and took their good time but finally have the 256 one. been working great so far. want to try it for a few months before i can risk upgrading. even got to watch/download the latest of my fav series.

Interesting!!!!

That means you are contracted for 2 years. What if you terminate before the 2 years are over because poor speeds etc?

Why should one lose the deposit to a service provider who fails to meet their part of the deal?

KDN is picking up some bad habits from their neighbours Zain.
