@Mukiha. True True. I have also used Orange in the past - indeed I still have some long outstanding GBs in my modem which have simply refused to get exhausted. The speeds can sometimes go below 1KBPS. So

I will certainly relegate my Orange as I have just bought myself 8GB of Safcom at 3,999. What could be better than that?

@lovely2010, bettertry makes a good case. You can spend the same 1K you used to spend but get 1,500 MB. Your cost per MB will come down to Kshs 0.67 (not 1.5 - @bettertry - try again) rather than 1/= per MB for the 500 bob bundle.

No doubt that's what SCOM is trying to get us to do.

I had been on orange for quite a while until last month when I dug up my SCOM modem... after several disappointments from Orange. Went ahead and loaded 1.5GB at sh1,999... today they got finished and I was very happy to see that ad. I have just loaded another 1.5GB, this time it only cost me sh999!Applause Applause Applause Applause . This is the best news ever.

Guess what, I'm not going back to Orange any time soon!

And Kencell/Celtel/Zain/Aitel? Well, been there, done that. Too slow and poor customer service.

BTW: I think Orange has the best call centre of all telcos.

My 650MB expired yesterday and I needed to load a little to reactivate it. I bought ksh 100 expecting some 30MB. I got 50MB and didn't understand what had happened until I read the advert today!! Airtel is dead, given they now have a new Sep date for 3G rollout.

or or or..... pay 1,000/- unlimited monthly internet access from zuku, with better speeds than safcom.

Zuku is no longer 1000/- it is 1,500/-...but you get shared speeds and its shit. Sometimes at night it is very slow.

@AGT, what's Zuku's current coverage - in Nairobi, Greater Nairobi and the rest of the country?
