Measured on this block in Jul-Sep 2026 — the ceiling the hotel's WiFi sits under. Shared WiFi, captive portals and per-device caps only make it slower, never faster.

Fixed line vs mobile
| Network | Down | Up | Ping |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed broadband — what the WiFi runs on | 82.1 | 42.0 | 8 |
| Mobile — your own SIM | 8.2 | 5.8 | — |
Do not plan on tethering here. Mobile upload (5.8 Mbps) is far below the fixed line (42.0 Mbps) — if the room WiFi fails, your phone is not a working backup for calls.

Outages in Kenya
| Started | Ended | Network | Cause |
|---|---|---|---|
| 29 Jul 2026, 17:15 UTC | 29 Jul 2026, 21:45 UTC | Kenya | power outage |
| 09 Dec 2025, 16:15 UTC | 09 Dec 2025, 20:00 UTC | Kenya | power outage |
Country- and ISP-level outages, not hotel-level. A national outage takes the hotel with it; the hotel's own router failing will never show here.
