I also made the switch to Airtel 3.75G and it's literally beating Zuku 2nd last package broadband unbeleivably. I'm a heavy data user and couldn't be happier. All this 3G,3.5G,3.7G,4G is just marketing gimmicks. Airtel has theirs capped at 1.25Mbps (speedtest.net)am not sure what cap figure safcom has theirs at. 3.75G is supposed to be hitting 21Mbps (HSDPA) if it is real. All the same, it's better than what I was using before. Looks like the MSPs will be knocking out our local ISPs in a matter of time, no wonder Accesskenya is going to the dogs.

I have a problem with Nairobians who base all their arguments on the fact that Nairobi is Kenya.

Nairobi is not Kenya. It just happens to be a part of Kenya.

Some of us have access to Safaricom only.

My relatives and friends have problems when they visit for other service providers are not available and when they are, users have to climb trees or go to the roof to access their respective service providers.

Perhaps then you could rephrase your poll with options that inquire what service providers are available and the region one is based.

For me, Safaricom it is for their is no other to compare with.

safaricom is the king of data. you can take that anywhere in kenya as colleteral.

I bought Airtel and it owrked fine in Nairobi, when I went to Nakuru it sucked big time. Seems Airtel still has a selective network. In terms of coverage Safcon beats them all. In terms of performance, there is little difference between the two. I quit Orange because their staff at Teleposta treated me like trash (I take customer relations very seriously. i can't give you my money and you treat me like a malaya)

*544#

*544# is how you check the bundle balance on Airtel. Do not know how it is that the customer support do not know.

1. Remove the Airtel sim card from the modem, and put it in a phone.
2. Enter *544# A USSD menu will show. The first option is check balance.
3. After selecting the first option, you will receive an sms with your bundle balance.

to make a like for like comparison you first need to split between consumer and business. e.g. KDN does NOT do consumer - they may do very large accounts like banks, etc and 90% of their business is backhauling for other providers like scom, airtel, access, etc (they are a carrier of carriers - and infrastructure provider). So no wonder no one is voting for them.

Not sure why Orange is not included. But as said, if you have one poll for consumer and one for business, you will see a major difference.

Mashinani safaricom becasue it has the widest countrywide coverage. In main towns try Orange.Fastest speeds I have ever encountered in then module HSPA+.

Thanks @Elder & @Akowally. 544 it is! Most of their customer care staff are clueless on this! How sad!
