In Kenya the tax paying population is too small with 40% being unemployed, and 75% of the rest in agriculture i.e.45% and of which 50% are subsistence farmers. we have a very small income tax paying population.

I agree the internet speed in Kenya is unbelievably fast.This is with exception of the last 2 weeks or so when an under cable was destroyed along the Kenyan coast by a ship as it docked.This has resulted to intermittent and slow internet speed. For those who have visited SA, and other african countries in Central and East regions, you will appreciate how Kenya's internet has improved. The cable will be fully repaired by end of next week and the internet speed expected to normalize. "You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality.

I remember the noise about the Kenyan Shilling depreciation.. and we complained about how the government is failing or doing nothing.....
looking further afield, Nigeria and South Africa had done worse..not mentioning Egypt and even Brazil (BRIC leader)..
sometimes wakenya ni kelele mingi sana..

That is impressive. Those download speeds allow a brother to download some serious porn  . Jokes aside, ni hatua kubwa. I still remember siku za 56 K. Horror! Not to be naive, but I wonder if the Internet caves have graduated to Ethernet or whether wanatumia laini za simu bado.

I remember sometimes in january or december when a litre of super had surpassed the 120 mark and the media and foolish politicians were telling Kenyans that the same in Tanzania was retailing at approximately ksh 60. I was in Dar at the time and did not see anywhere fuel was cheaper than in kenya. "You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality.

Still way too slow and expensive. Anything below 13mbps download is slow! I have 17mbps and sometimes it goes upto 27mbps all for a mere $30 a month unlimited. We still have a way to go as a country...let's go for the best i.am.back!!!!

This is commendable, but I think the cost is still quite high, one and a half years ago when I lived in India my 2mbps broadband connection used to cost me around 1thao KES per month, I remember enjoying my EPL online streaming bila interruption(My provider was Bharti Airtel btw...). With three undersea cables we can do better on the cost front.

 Why do Nigerians hate it when Ghanians overtake them in everything? They seem to be competing for the title 'Giant of Africa' "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

Not to be naive, but I wonder if the Internet caves have graduated to Ethernet or whether wanatumia laini za simu bado. Cybers, being obvious clients for internet are first to be approached by service providers, with well designed packages to attract. I run a cyber with a dedicated connection via wimax signal form KDN. Payment is very low. Currently connected with 1MBPs. At good times, I enjoy effective download speed of 120kps. This is a far cry form the pre-fibre times when telkom would provide us with 128kps@9300. Effective dowload speeds would be a high of 12kbs with an average of 8kps. We have come form far.

The problem with our internet speeds and why we cant enjoy download speeds of above 10 mbps like guys in America is that most of the content we want to access is either in the US or in some country in Europe. To have 1GB link from kenya to the UK alone is quite costly for ISPs hence they have to share the limited bandwidth they have to large pool of customers.

Infact i do enjoy download speeds of over 55mbps in my office in Nairobi!
