correction:
3 Turbo8 at 8Mbps and not 4Mbps

I have used all and my analysis are that mobile internet providers are the best especially safaricom and Orange.

Two years ago I got a quote from Zuku and the connection fee was 8, 500 ksh. They then claimed there was no signal as my house was mopped up by other tall buildings. They suggested I pick another site/person to sell to as refund will take long. I did this and signal failed in two other sites, bottom line I lost the cash. Recently, I tried getting connected in yet another premise near Kenyatta market this too failed and mark you they have an office there. Fortunately, I did not buy their story of suggesting another place and insisted on refund which I got. The thing is, their coverage is very very small and the bad thing, they insist you pay first then claim a refund……..which does not make sense coz they should know beforehand which areas are covered..

@ajhsumar I highly doubt if you have used ALL. And if Orange is good, then I doubt if I can trust you to know what is good.

@otienosmall if it was 2 years ago, then I can assure you that a lot has changed.

Case in point. I paid for another connection to my house on Thursday evening. Got it on Friday morning. If you doubt this, come to my office and I will give you the receipts.

It is faster and better than in my office. So Gordon is right, check your area first.

I'm finding this as another of those web hack jobs by people who claim to be users.

I know that zuku has issues in my office area. Customer service has acknowledged this and its something that we have to live with until fibre comes along. But even thinking of KDN, or orange in the same area is suicide.

If you want to get mobile connectivity, please stick to safaricom and be ready to pay more.

If you are wondering what is faster, fibre or wimax, then you need serious training on internet connectivity. They don't even come close.

But don't forget that this is Kenya and people have a habit of cutting cables to make earings.

As for guaranteed fibre speeds. Trust me, 1Mbps on fibre will be better any day than 2Mbps orange. 8Mbps on fibre is better than 3G any company and cheaper too.

Please read what you quoted again and avoid misquoting me.

I feel you man. Like Gordon said these companies are upus and you have to find out if they offer good services in your area. Never believe the sales guys as I have found out most have no idea what they are talking about.

I don't like safcom but I have to say, that's the only reliable network anywhere in terms of internet. The others, find out if there are trees in your area and if you live near places where people ngoa reli, expect fibre cuts.

Alma specifically talked of 1Mbps fibre versus 2Mbps Orange. Nothing about 'regardless of network.' Maybe it is time your ego bought some glasses or attended reading classes.

From personal experience, I have used 3G in Kenya and I am now using 1Mbps fibre abroad and I can assure you there is completely no comparison. With the fibre I can download a 1Gb movie by torrents in less than 2hrs a thing I never achieved with 3G. either the quoted 3G speeds in Kenya are false or obviously fibre is more superior. In the midst of crooks; ‘2kg of sand could be lighter than 1kg of metal’.

I agree. Was recently in the US, and my cousin had a 256K line at home, it was incredibly fast!!! Cant compare to my 256K at home here at all. I think local internet lines are lousy at best. Too much sharing!!

I agree with u on this one. I also said in my previous post that FIBER IS SUPERIOR TO 3G...no doubt about that.

I think where we are not agreeing is that you were basing ur point on ORANGE 3G... N my point was on general network.

So it all comes down to we are not receiving what is being marketed to us!
