Internet Connectivity
Internet services have been available since 1995 but there was no fiber connectivity available to the Internet backbone till 2009. Till then, the connectivity was over Satellite network to the rest of the world, even to the neighbouring countries. The EASSY and SEACOM fiber projects implemented in 2009 brought in internet connectivity to Tanzania at lower latency and lower cost. This resulted in a surge in internet speeds, with download speeds increasing over 8 fold.
