Hey! Thanks for taking the time to write this. Honestly where i'm from (Ghana) 4Mb is a luxury! The most you'll get is 10% of that and pay roughly $70/month.

However its great to have an little insight into what goes on in that corner of the globe!

4mb was very expensive there too, I worked in Rep Benin for several years so I would say that if you are used to west African speeds you won't be disappointed at all. In fact I would say that being from Ghana depending on where you end up you would probably really love most of the Caribbean it is very culturally related to West Africa.

Tell me about it! I Was in Montego Bay for about 2 months in the 90s and the only thing that reminded me that I wasn't back in Accra was the Jamaican accent Lol.

Hey, do you happen to know where someone can go to find good recently graduated programmers in Accra? I've been trying to hire, but there's no real luck yet, all I've been finding are expats.

Well the University of Technology is in Kumasi so that would be IMHO a better place to start.
