orange 3g+ is much faster than safaricom am using orange 3g+ down speed 200-300kbps up speed 80-120 and cost me only 1k for a full week that`s good

I believe they pay a fixed fee per megabit of bandwidth per month. They then sell it on to us, 50 users can share a 1Mbit connection.

what about pre-paid customers.Safcom is just a company w/o direction.Post-Paid customers account for less than 10% of its data client yet its concentrating w/ this small segmement.
Why isnt safaricom NOT considering the pre-paid customers.Could it be Orange beat them to this market in the first place ? I think so.

Seems' like safcon wants to get more people into post-paid with this new prices, that way they'll be guranteed return biz. MJ once said prepaid customers are unreliable coz leo ako kwako kesho kwa jirani and hence from this l derive my logic.

I am using Safaricom Wimax at home and its really fast, speeds can reach 1.5 mbps at night. Their costs are a bit on the higher side though (5999) but I hear Zuku has introduced super low Wimax offers and even greater speeds (eti wanakinda 8 mbps at 4k). Hope these safaricom leeches lower their price for some of us under contract

Zuku hav this very FANTASTIC offer of fiber optic interet.They are currently rollin it out huko kwa masonko ( in kile , muthaiga,lavie e.t.c) Ati they are claiming 1 mbps down for 1K per month.This offer is just crazy.In my hood we also have fiber i hope they consider us.
@mwanahisa. let me correct you Orange isnt slow.If i can stream youtube videos so seamlessly where is the slowness.
I guess competition will trully bring low prices.now all the talk of recouperating initial investment is put under the rags...faster,cheaper,affordable internet is here folks.

Hey man, I can only talk of my own experience. I have certainly not been able to watch videos seamlessly. I have to keep on waiting for it to buffer which makes the experience terrible. I am however able to watch them on the second take once the download is complete. As an example, it took about 45 minutes for the YouTube video on the shooting of the new Safaricom Ad to download. I certainly feel I can get better than that!!

Very true mwanahisa. I have both Safaricom and Orange modems and the latter is much slower.

Orange 3G+ Versus Safaricom 3G internet: I have used the two of them extensively and i will highly recommend Safaricom though a bit costly. Terrible experiences with orange made me ditch them. Since my work is more than 100% web based and mobile....I was with a client more than several times using an Orange modem..you have to create stories as you wait for a page to upload.
Orange have the capability and capacity to provide superior services lakini wamelalia maskio tu.

If you are an internet user who is patient, do less of uploads and downloads orange is appropriate and better.
For those who want pages loading at the click of a button Safaricom is your option. @ alma at video uploads you are better use Zuku,KDN or Safaricom in that order.

Orange please stop lying to wakenya that you can stream videos using that bogus ZTE modem..you are not even close to anything,... ama its just me who gets pissed off when i see their not very true advert.

Safaricom is useless !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I mean U-S-E-L-E-S-S. Who wants to buy their expensive data bundles only to be looking at the counter all the time seeing how much mb you have used.Common guys the internet isnt just made up of two websites 10 kb each.There's so much to do on the internet and data bundles reduce the joy of browsing.You need that sence of freedom to browse any website regardless.Ze french have done good w/ Orange.Okay there might be diconnections but which network doesnt have that ? That's why multinationals w/ their 1 gbps networks have backup networks.
Bythe way i am still waiting for a concrete case for Safaricom as my home internet.I think that'll be the biggest joke in the world.Even in developed countries data bundles arent popular.
