Hello thanks for de info Mark, for your info back @
home Spacenet (ISP) has fibre too though in Kla' only,
Yes, I recall this is the case. In fact, to digress,
SpaceNet's reason for not joining the UIXP at the time
was that they wanted to run their fibre between Diamond
Trust and the UCC building, which the UCC OK'ed.
I can't say I remember if SpaceNet joined the exchange.
It has been on each year's resolution but promise
this year < rumours.txt
:-)
there is another ISP Siticable it runs fibre in the air
stats show that 50% of Ug's internet data is via
glass already.
Yes, I think these were the guys who were introducing
cable Tv too.
Exaclty competing with Dstv :-)
Very True we just need to get rid of the satellite
prices and there will be cheap ,fast and furious
internet for all.And I hope that one day Ug will link
to the coastal fibre so Telcos/ISP's can give it up
cheaply...
Well, don't be surprised if landed fibre offerings are
much more expensive than satellite. In fact, in most
African countries that have both satellite and fibre
access, satellite is still cheaper. In countries
like .za, fibre access to the Internet is the norm, so
South Africans have gotten used to the pricing, but in
other countries like .gh and .ng, although fibre is
readily available, offering RTT's of 100ms or less,
satellite access is still more affordable.
It's a money and political thing involving Telkom SA and
some other "heads", so expect Internet to be faster with
fibre, but not necessarily cheaper.
True, same applies to .ug and will be always
