I would like to sign up for the Butterfly WIFI internet service from KDN. Can it work with a desktop or is it limited to laptops? Thanks

Pole mnaandi,don't have an answer to that.

However,I do have a problem. I once bought an access code whose value was 30min worth of internet time lakini when I tried to use the code,I got a message that the access code had expired. Tried calling the KDN fellas but got no where as far as getting the cash back or airtime was concerned. After several calls,I gave up because not only were they not helping,they also became a nuisance with several call backs asking for the same information that I had given earlier. I told them not to bother fixing the problem because I had already spent almost 100 shs in airtime chasing the 40shs worth that they had stolen from me.

Anyone had a similar experience?

The butterfly service is a wireless internet network.For it to operate in any computer,the computer must have a wireless adapter.Most laptops have it.

You can also install the wireless driver for your comp and buy the wireless adapter for approx 3500.

If you stay in an area where there is butterfly Wifi.Then get it since starting november 1st,it will be free.

I have a friend who bought a scratch card only to realise that he can only get the signal at the Junction. The signal at his place near AFRALTI is so weak. They promised to give him a repeater (whatever that is) to boost the signal,but it was just that - a promise. Meanwhile time on his unlimited month is running. My take,if you are not Equity,Barclays,NIC,KCB,stay away from KDN.

@ GG

hope you read their advert in the dailies today....

their market niche is mostly corporate...

A friend of mine works with KDN but admits that Zuku is cheaper and more reliable!!!!
