For a small business in Uganda today, a high internet connection can help propel your business – helping you access increasing cloud-based applications, share larger files, support more Wi-Fi-enabled devices, conduct video/web conferencing and more.

“Running a digital marketing firm wouldn’t be possible, with all the numerous online activities we’re involved – right from blogging, to updating social media accounts of several of our clients, that involve uploading videos and large image files, to streaming of events and not forgetting managing our own email and SMS platform. A high speed internet connection is everything to us.” claimed Alex Ssenoga, Director and Founder, Sukuma Online – A tech Business Garage.
