Yes Zain internet might suck but i strongly believe that Safcom employees wamejaa hapa wakipiga debe . I tested their modem when they were screaming they have 3G all over nairobi truth is it was only at westlands only.So at the end of the day what is wtitten here is not the Gospel truth.

I have only been on Orange and i returned their damn modem after getting frustrated with it.I now have safcom modem and am very happy...the speed is not spectacular but good enough and surprisingly reliable...with all their congestion issues....As for Zain those guys are sleeping.......I can never bother to indulge in any of their services!!!!

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

Head to Head: Safcon vs Orange.

I been using safcon for the past 10 months or so - since when their modems looked more like a key holder - and I until recently was using their flash disk cum modem gadget. Safcon are just that,a bunch of cons.

They steal mbs - their modems consume mbs even one is not browsing - their service quality is nothing to write home about,connecting is an issue let alone speeds and their data bundles are way too expensive.

Thanks to that jaguar,I unlocked their modem and took Orange for a drive test. While I may not be on 3G,I am able to stream videos from youtube and I even watched Audi Cup finals on the net - well part of the match anyway. Data bundles are pocket friendly - Kshs. 1 / mb and the connection is always available.

They do not steal mbs from me and I do not have to keep on disconnecting and connecting the gadget to avoid this.

All this talk of 3G speeds is just a noise. Bottom line is if you open a web page in 1m/s and I open it in 1 sec,we will both have attained our objective within a reasonable time frame. Only that on Orange the cost will be less than 1/3 that of safcon.

Deal or no Deal?

correction....orange charges 1ksh/min and not 1ksh/mb. if the latter was the case,then orange would cost 1/8 of safcon...unless i am the one with warped maths!

and speed matters.....a lot!!
because one is usually not downloading 1 kb pages!

PS. why bother with these bundles anyway?? i use a GPRS enabled phone (motorola L6,av. cost 5000k) with a prepaid safcon line and it is as fast as my broadband accesskenya connection at work. I just load credit as necessary and can also use the line to call when not on internet. you can use bluetooth or cable to connect to computer.

Orange Internet everywhere bundles - 2000 mbs for Kshs. 2000 equivalent to Kshs. 1 / MB.

If you are using a modem or a phone to browse - your case - then what you downloads are small files - &lt; 5 Mbs. If you were into serious downloads - &gt; 700mbs - then modems and phones out. Imagine downloading a 700mb movie using a safcon modem. Kshs. 2000 would not be enough - 300mbs for Kshs. 1000. With Orange you would only use Kshs. 700 but why not get the movie from any rental for Kshs. 200 or less.

orange 2000mb @2k? please check again. This guys have learnt from the 'best' (zain). They secretly increased their internet charges roughly 2weeks ago. 2000mb now costs 3900/. You can check this by dialing #123# from your orange line

@ Jaguar you are right,the Morons have increased their rates 1 by 100%! That puts them in the same league as the other 2 - Zain and Safcon. I believe that's my cue to migrate to another provider. Any suggestions?
