 Bill and others ...

I saw mention of iWay Africa in a post and wanted to add that they've
served the JHPIEGO Zambia office well for about 8 months now ... We get
a consistent 600 kbps download and 150 kbps upload.  Their pricing in
Zambia wasn't bad ... Perhaps because they had multiple local dealers in
Lusaka.  They use a Hughesnet satellite technology, I believe, and are
headquartered in Nairobi.

They might be a good place to start talking about coordinated purchasing
of satellite services, since the one parent company services several
African coutnries.

Bill,

Don't know FOBSKY, but I see that IWAY Africa has a footprint in
Nigeria.
They do well in East Africa.
Pricey, but completely bypass the local ISP infrastructure.
A number of organizations (CARE?) here in Dar use them.

Greetings from New York City!

 

Anyone know anything about FOBSKY? http://www.fobsky.com/

 

They are a VSAT provider, and were suggested to us as good source for
connectivity for a satellite office we have in Sokoto, Nigeria. I'm not
familiar with them, so I thought I would ask the experts (that's you).

 

Thanks,

 

Bill
