Here i am at the supposed university of technology. We have internet in our rooms, supposedly. But it is supplied with some other wires people would mistake for clothes lines! The pictures better describe them. Don’t worry about the quality of the photos, am yet to get me one of those digital cams, so I had to make do with a phone. Lakini, how is Africa supposed to develop when we have lousy net as ours? We are supposed to be beyond broadband, beyond fibre optics and even beyond wireless! We are supposed to set the pace!
Now you know why I don’t blog as much. Just as am about to hit the Publish button, or post a comment, a strong wind or even a gentle breeze blows the internet away…
and it gets worse
and yet another one..

We sure do need fast net. But I think the wiring could have been done better, even with our slow net! route them neatly to make them look nice, and also to make troubleshooting easy should the need arise!
Hehe, at least u have the internet…
Some guys walk distances to get to an internet cafe.
But that is suicidal. Lol…
wireless. infinitely less messy. less unreliable. and less expensive to install and maintain.
those wires are killer! lol… and cheri is right, at least you do have the internet available
aaaa, wewe, u cant be serious. those wires look like, i dont know. nothing like wires. bad.
LOL. Ati u have Internet in your rooms? Eish…. why didn’t think of that 8-10 years ago?
Na uwache kudanganya sisi – those are cloth lines. LOL
Well if the campo guys don’t want to cable the place, what can the students do .. .kienyeji spagetti cabling!
I thought they are clothes lines, the last 2 have pegs hanging.
Well, I hear wires ‘wire’ up everything in our life! Haha. Anyways, u should be happy that u have net so close. But, eish! that wiring!???!
ha ha ha! I could swear I saw pegs! Does someone get tempted to hang clothes on the internet wiring? They could serve double purpose you know.
But that could also be masking tape no? Whichever way it’s funny Lol.
Start thinking wireless dear. You’ll like it.
Kwani hujafua leo? Why are the lines empty?
LOL…. eish mami… i didnt think it looks tht bad!! but enyee tis quite a sight. many a times av been tempted to swing over to hall 5 or 4 via the wires from my room… lol! but atleast we have internet,unlike some pple…
CHICK, YOU WIN!!!
Like the ones at my work place
hahahaha., thats funny! for real!
HA HA HA HA HA HA
ati the internet gets blown away by the wind! That was trully hilarious! Even in sudan we had better internet than that, and ati sudan is the 5th world! haki who is your VC? he should resign immediately
Is that wiring done by the uni admin or have the students set up the net thmselves? Its definately progress to have net in the rooms but lakini your campus should be the front runner in showcasing proper IT development afterall its alumni are some of the leaders in IT today
@ nzembi
they do look like the kambas for Tarzan, swinging from hall to hall…
@half and half
the Vc’s contract expired…except a new one doenst really mean changes are going to take place…there is too much inertia…
@kirima
well, people know stuff, they just dont care about neatness…its the artwork of the students
Broadband indeed!
Atleast the posts are coming.
That is some ouch internet you got there. Lucky us we have wifi in our hostel. But then again its Kenya so its super slow sometimes. You have to dangle on the window seal with your lapatapa just to get good reception. And fights have been started because, ‘alikuwa anablock internet akiwa amesimama mbele ya comp’
