Cost-This is always the first factor considered by many and is usually the determining factor
Speed-A very important factor depending on what you plan to do with your internet connection.
Availability-Certain services like Wimax and 3G are not available outside of Nairobi and Mombasa so if you live outside these areas you can always consider VSAT(very small aperture terminal)which is basically satellite or DSL which is telephone line depenedent.
Transmission-If your telephone lines are always being vandalised and Telkom doesn’t fix them then DSL would not be a wise decision.
Time limit-Some ISPs offer prepaid and unlimited connections but personally I hate prepaid connections as you will never be comfortable browsing as you will always want to finish what you are doing before the money you have put gets finished.
So for all of you who are not sure what ISPs is best for them I have made a table of the best and cheapest ISPs services that offer unlimited broadband internet.

vsat tends to be quite expensive and unreliable in heavy weather. perhaps our ISPs need to look at spreading 3G and wimax beyond Nairobi and Mombasa?
