Tue, 28 Jul 2009 21:41:05 +0000http://whiteafrican.com/?p=2744#comment-7880Seacom has done its part and I think its now time for the local bandwidth retailers to roll out and make use of it. I dont think that internet costs will take the 5 years defined by truekenyan here to go down, infact, on 24th, Safaricom was already live on the service and even though prices may not have been down, quality is better and it means better value for money. Am sure soon we shall see healthy competition from the ISPs and we shall be the beneficiaries.

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:59:08 +0000http://whiteafrican.com/?p=2744#comment-7877I spoke to SEACOM representatives in Mombasa (and took the pics that Bart posted above). They told me that Safaricom has already routed its mobile internet services through SEACOM. So those checking their emails or visting websites on their Safaricom phone in Kenya should already experience the faster connection. Everyone else, including KDN and Access Kenya, seem to be in testing phase. Some will not connect before mid September, but progress is steady.
