The internet POPs provides a wireless connectivity network in a radius of about
5-10km around the POP. People within this area can access connectivity such
as internet connectivity at costs, speeds and types of services that are
comparable to those in the capital city Kampala.
Through a competitive bidding process, the Uganda Telecom Ltd won the
tender for subsidy to set up POP in the district. The POP is designed to provide a minimum combined speed of 480Kbps.
However, with the advent of new technologies on the market, the combined
speed and range of services provided keeps increasing.
All who wish to make use of the POP in the district need to contact Uganda
Telecom Ltd. Through their own expansion programmes other operators also
continue to establish their own POPs in various districts of the country. It may
therefore be good to check all operators in order to make a comparison for a
better deal.
