I'm on ZAIN....started out very sloooooooooow then...........they gave some steroids....now the steroids have worn off and it's back to sloooooow.....

Behind the gardens...Behind the wall...Under the tree (Including: Red...Dark Blue...Yellow)

I'm on Africa Online. Usually ok but when it goes down they have no idea what is wrong! They have very poor customer service but otherwise, few complaints!

Immorality: The morality of those who are having a better time!

Results so far:

Good: Safcom,orange,Africaonline

Rubbish: Zain,Sovaya,UUNET,Swift Global,Zuku,Access

Have you noticed the trend? Mobile cos are beating this idiot ISPs hands down!! I would start selling my Acess shares soon...


Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Safcon rules at the moment on speeds though cost is prohibitive.

Zain,Yu and Orange (all on EDGE) have failed to live up to expectations by mainly focusing on the low margin voice segment as Safcon goes into a data market onslaught even forays into the cyber cafe market,that have traditionally been a preserve of ISPs.

Most mainstream ISPs are a big let down in terms of speeds,reliability and customer care but Zuku aka Wananchi leads the mediocrity list. Most,including Access are also known to downgrade or re-allocate bandwidth without their client's knowledge when traffic is high.

In the medium to long term,unless ISPs merge,they will not be able to compete with mobile companies that have invested heavily in infrastructure across the country.

The problem with per minute billing is you get billed when connected but no data is transmitted/received.

Probably wait until October when new products and prices will be introduced into the market before making a decision.
