It seems wazuans have already given yunet a red card even without trying it. I am going to dare it for you.

What is making me scream against safcom is i keep forgetting to buy the bundles and i lose 1k in hours! NKT


YU is on EDGE (2.75G) so its out-rightly slower that the 3Gs. Your escapade will prove our words smile


Dunkang wacha ukaigangio!

How can you forget to buy bundles? just how yet it's only a click away??
My mind rings bundles everytime I load.
You need to style up and stop losing.Thats damn expensive.

@Jim, give details. Otherwise, we will just assume ur a yunet hater

you can hardly open anything, to be honest yunet is absolute garbage. i'm 16kms from nairobi cbd & the signal strength is good, about 70 percent. Go to their facebook page & see the comments

problem with airtel is signal strength in many locations when you get in to the house i.e the modem will not register to network. The speeds are good & the connection is reliable

Any Wazuan with anything positive about YU monthly 499/- unlimited modem internet? Please
help. Am losing a lot of money on Safcom bundles and Orange is extreeeeeemely slooooow and b r e a k s after every other 5minutes in my house in Roysambu.


True dat. Orange on day one will give you 3.8Mbps then a day later speeds dip to 32kBps,it's a wonder how it is being touted to be the best yet is worse than zuku. I just torched my Orange line on 8th when my 1 month free net run out when all hope was lost at the #123# trick. The speeds crawled at 16kBps so doesn't even make any sense on saving cash. So am on Airtel for now on my zte.

Am sure you can get a better deal than that. Since they ng'oad unlimited they must be upto something and am not looking there direction at least not anytime soon.

Safcom wanakupenda sana! You are the reason they won't go a day hungry even if they serve you with air burgers Laughing out loudly They probably have a donkey like emoticon just to identify you on their side.

Bluetooth 2.0 has a theoretical speed of about 2.1Mbps so given a real world application this is a bottleneck, it is better to USB tether if you must.

Coming from zuku,that suggestion is more expensive since zuku link was serving more than 1 pc but coz of their new capping techniques and late payment penalty I am steering away from zuku and realized the speeds strangely seem to be higher with these 3g modems than zuku fibre optic installation

@dunkang am awaiting your experience anxiously I hope you live like 3km from cbd

Thank you drobos for the comparisons.
I hate all these speed issues.
If a provider cannot be reliable then I wouldn't risk.
Id rather stick with expensive but reliable than cheap and useless.

i've used yu unlimited. the good news is it's not capped; the bad news is: it disconnects severally and it's too damn slow-sahau youtube or any download beyond 10MB, unless you are extremely patient...
Above all, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.

Exactly we want to know the speeds and anyone with a better deal just post here, if our local isps are planning a modem compatible simcard release just for net tuambiye pia, its about time we broke from this conservative nature of the market and stirred the competition for best services cheaply. Airtel has an offer now, if you buy bundles above 250/= you get double your data purchased. Sijui promo naisha lini. If they screw up I'll just torch their line and move to the next big thing, being a data nomad is fun!!!!!!

How much of that is a lie? 100%.... 480%....or it's humanly unscalable?
