To assist in the selection of hosts in this region from the pingtable results, we created an affinity group that contains all hosts in Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania. This makes it much simpler to look at the minimum RTT for just such hosts for the last few days.
Uganda should be connected soon. KDN was building the fiber to Uganda and Rwanda. We therefore also set up a group for countries in the UN definition of Eastern Africa to simplify reviewing minimum RTT for all East Africa.
On Aug 2, 2009 following an email from Don Riley who detected that kdn.co.ke had dropped to 370ms. We were Unfortunately not monitoring kdn.co.ke.

This is exactly what one would expect as the route moves from a GEOS to a terrestrial line. The plot below shows the RTT time series:
