Zuku Set the Pace
Yesterday Zuku unveiled their new broadband services for Businesses. Dubbed as Zuku Biz, Zuku a brand name owned by Wananchi Kenya have now officially set the pace by introducing Kenya’s first 10mbps service for only 10,000shs ($134).
This should definitely rock the Internet service market and should have other ISP’s preparing their marketing teams to come up with new products.
This Barely a day after I posted about ISP’s not heating up the competition. I take my words back as Zuku have done just that with the introduction of bandwidth in double digits (Mbps) and a massive price drop.
Zuku who have share holding in TEAMs and available bandwidth from Seacom, have mentioned that they have 50Gb of bandwidth available to sell to the market compared to Access Kenya’s 10Gb, 5Gb from either fiber provider.
I am now surely looking forward to increased bandwidth and increased price drops in the coming months.

I am a proud user of zuku and I look forward to the increased speeds.

Where are you located and how are the current speeds? I get quite a few complaints on how slow their services are (6kbps-15kbps) more so during peak hours.

Hi kenyan Freelancer,
What zuku package are you on and what are the actual speeds that you get during the day? and what do you get in the evenings?
Would appreciate any feedback.
Cheers.

This is great news. Kudos to Zuku!
Unfortunately (for now), all I can do is envy those who can access this service.
The next step in the unfolding scenario of greater, affordable bandwidth will naturally be accessibility and convenience.
What I’m talking about is mobile WiMAX which will be as ubiquitous as, and more robust than the Internet service currently offered by the GSM Telcos.
I live about 40km from Nairobi, and mobility is a key component of my (design) work.
