Problems with Network Infrastructure


Some problems aced by the Ethiopian network infrastructure are: 

  1. Internet service provided by ETC is inadequately managed and ultimately unreliable. 
  2. Technical support for telephone problems  or internet access problems are not adequately provided or are not provided in time. 
  3.  The entire current bandwidth consumed for distribution by the ETC Internet  service is estimated from sources to be a total of 4 Mbps (outbound) and 10 Mbps) to two destinations. However  the access to this bandwidth is not universally an enjoyable experience
  4. Blocking of websites, or arbitrary filtering of traffic to manage the demand of services 
  5. There are annoying problems with calls being dropped on the GSM network 
  6. Very few establishments had proper LAN  infrastructure to distribute internet service, but it was observed that both the Solutions Group within the ETC and selected private IT companies have the  requisite expertise to design customer LAN and WAN networks in order to build enterprise-wide data communication  networks.   (Source)
