[Augustine]

Well sister, i cant exactly rem how my dad did it back then.............but i tend to think there r some internet companies that can help u on this...........look up on the yellow pages........kama ni hapa...its a phone call away.....gud luck..

[mtoto mzuri]

theaz many ISP in nai. i think safaricom, zain, UUNET.
i only know what u need to do to get telkom dsl.

go to any telkom. there's one in posta house... i think 2nd ama 3rd floor (not sure) na kuna ingine buru somewhere in phase I ama pahse II.

tell em u want internet connection in ur house. they'll require u to get a landline ( i suggest u get pre paid... bills za telkom ni za ajabu!).

ul have to fill forms ( obviously). they have different speed connections. im not sure of the speeds lakini theaz ya 5K, 9K, 16K na 35K. 5K is kinda slow... 9K sio mbaya sana.
those where the rates last time i checked ( early this year)

u then need to buy a moderm. kuna aina mob sana. TP-LINK, LINKSYS, NETGEAR. ( i suggest linksys) e.t.c im not sure how much it will cost u though. and lastly u need ur pc.

the telkom people will then come to ur house... do the connections, set network keys and configure your moderm. ur then good to go!
u have to buy the internet card. ur internet card expires every 30 days.

telkom saa zingine wakona ufala sana! internet connection can go bad for as long as 1 week and im not kidding.
fanya research and see what is ur best and cheapest option.

Sista, i use safaricom internet.
The rest like IDN, Africa online and the rest are expensive and at times unreliable.
Safaricom has cheap internet options for home users and expensive ones for corporates.
Just visit their customer care at I&M building or Sarit centre and they will explain to you.
But the cheapest option many dont know is that you can use your phone to browse. All you need to do is to have a phone with bluetooth and a bluetooth adaptor connected to the comp. and there u are, the phone is now a modem. The advantage of this is that u pay as you go, plus you dont have to bring home those ISP people to keep connecting u each time there is a failure.
Jaribu that, ukihata send me a PM, i will direct u.

Thanks a lot Wababa.I will get to safcom n see how it can be done.Money is not a pblem.The problem is how to spend it. I just need fast internet in the house. I know a buddy whose hubby uses the blue tooth phone with the comp but she's always in the cyber,so i think it's a bit unreliable.
i think i will go to Safcom customer care n see what option is the best.
