What I tend to do with 'uploads' is to upload them to a local server with a
public IP (either in our office or on our server) and then download from europe.
You can restart a download, but its much harder with an upload.
and no, that wont work on an Orange dongle.
As far as the iHub goes, I think they get their bandwidth sponsored from the
telco's (they have more than 1 line) and yes, they have like 20Mbs or so. The
first time i heard that, i flapped my ears, too.
Which telco in UG would give, say, HiveColab such a link? For free?

@Mwirima,
Sorry if that sounded like a rant. I try to be as solution-oriented as

Perhaps I should explain myself. The friend who requested my help is a Kenyan
musician whose video was done by a Ugandan shop. The edited content was to be
sent back in time for a press conference this morning. He told me that the
Ugandan company had been trying to upload it since morning, and was not done
by 8pm. The work should have been finished 5 days ago, so it is true that it's
a self-created problem.
While UG has fabulous creative people, they might be losing out because they
don't know where to access good bandwidth. Of course, everyone loses out when
we all have to settle for substandard work.

Stop ranting. There are many ways around your self-created 'problem'.

why?
I usually get (download) data rates north of 4Mbps on MTN's
mobile data connection. Never monitored upload though, although I
imagine it should not be very different.
Why would this not work for you? Assuming an average 3Mbps data
rate (which you can get on either orange or mtn data), your file
would be down/uploaded in less than 1 hr.
