I was working at a university in rural Kenya for a while, and remember getting 4mb/s download speeds. This was kind of disconcerting, as the total bandwidth for the university was about twice that! The university networks were difficult for students to get access to, and the faculty and admins had little experience with using it. Additionally, super high prices for mobile internet meant people watch their data usage very closely, and are less likely to explore and discover new content sources.

Things are changing quickly, though...

Which University was this?
Maseno, just outside of Kisumu.
