Nino asked:
Currently I pay like 40 US$ monthly for a connection which usually has a download speed of 30KiloBytes per second, I think they call it 256kbps. Currently the whole country uses satellites. I wonder with the arrival of the Teams and Seacom cables what changes there will be in speeds. I want to purchase very high speed broadband but I do not think I can afford fiber to my house. WIMAX will be the best option, how fast if wimax and equipment cost? What speeds will I be likely to get at my University? What speeds will I get at the cyber cafes in the cbd Nairobi? I am asking this because I will need to run a business which will involve uploading 4GB videos, so I will need a very good upload speed but at which cost? If it is too expensive can I do it at my campus or cyber cafe? What speeds will they probably have?

How do I tell a broadband connection?

merc5678 asked:
I read somewhere that broadband vaguely means fast internet but how fast is not defined. As such, some ISPs are selling even dailup as broadband only because it’s faster than 56kps.
Now, how do I tell that a service on offer is really broadband?
I’ve seen an ISP advertising broadband connection at 64, 128 and 256kps. this has a flat monthly fee.
comes with a USB modem/ethernet modem and a landline.
alternatively, they have a wireless version that would use a PC card.
i currently have a WIMAX broadband connection that is bundled and billed on usage.
the speed tests have so far shown between 200-800 kbps

Thanks in advance for any help.

Karani M asked:
My laptop already has wifi but I have to keep moving my laptop to get the signal. So I need a USB wifi which I will extend using a USB wire upto about 2metres. I wonder if this distance between my laptop and receiver will affect internet speed quality. Does a USB signal fade with distance like 2 metres?
Someone please tell me about wimax. How much do the wimax receivers cost and do they come like wifi?
