Doubling Internet speed good but not good enough!!

Access Kenya last week announced that they are live on Seacom with 2.5Gbs, and still have 2.5Gbs on Teams (for rendundancy) making a total of 5 Gbs, That's more than was actually available for all Kenyan ISP's prior to the landing of the fibre optic cables.
With this they have doubled download speeds for all their customers.And promised to double again next year,this means that for those who had 256Kbps you should now have 512 and in less than 1 yr should be getting 1Mbps. This is very encouraging.
We have an access kenya connectionin the office and the speeds have no doubtedly improved.
Am sure all ISP's will follow suit or come up with better offers.
However the dissapointing fact is there will be now price reductions any time soon as most ISP's are claiming they need to recoup the capital investment.

With the arrival of the cables most people were hoping for increased speeds and reduced costs.
And until this happens there can't be significant increase in Interenet connectvity which is still quite low in the region.

Let's just say there's still a long way to go before the much hyped benefits are realised.
