However, wouldn't this data be really hard to acquire without the co-operation of the ISPs? Especially land-lines; I suppose it would be fairly easy to do a mobile coverage survey on our own.

I would rather pay Orange whatever they ask than pay for cheaper. However that does not justify ridiculously high prices. Can we rate service provision or uptime? It would also help to know who is on the exchange. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto: [email protected] ] On Behalf Of Bernard Wanyama Sent: 20 June 2012 11:27 To: Uganda Linux User Group Subject: Re: [LUG] wooooohhhoooooooooo I like Thoma's angle. Comparing prices alone might give an inaccurate picture especially if we are talking about service and not necessarily a product like an HP DL380 server. Most of us on this list will agree that we all tend to pay more for the service than the actual product. E,g, lunch is Wandegeya market is so tasty and affordable, but most people are not ready to have a hot charcoal stove behind the bench, coupled with a hot roof and flowing sewage under the table. So we go to Garden City or Nakumatt and satisfy our hunger from there. Some of our dear ISPs have only one cable - TEAMS or SEACOM or EASSY and are unable to serve you during an outage on their single cable. You surely cannot compare pricing from those ISPs with one cable to the ones with multiple options. Quality service is key, especially when your business depends on it.
