"Dear Customer, There is a technical fault affecting most of the channels on your TV at the moment. Kindly bear with us as we work on rectifying the problem."

Got that SMS from ZUKU jana. Needless to say since jana no single channel works, no TV in the house, internet is working though and their customer care number goes to a machine that puts you on hold till your credit runs out. Seriously considering reconnecting my DSTV.

I completely agree with kularaha and poundfoolish
@the beginning with zuku it's all roses and daisies but once you start having problems it gets uglier and uglier
1. i increased the broadband package but there are no changes on the speed or radius the Internet covers
2. They are so quick to cut you off when the payment is done yet too slow to return the service
For example I paid to be reconnected on Sunday and the week is ending and still they have not returned the services?! I emailed and they said the system is not showing the transaction I sent the details of the payment THRICE and have been calling all day they cannot even deign to reply or pick up the calls, now no credit and no service. What was the point?! this is not the first time paying and they refuse to reconnect until I have to contact them almost every time, shouldn't it be the same when cutting off the connection then?? But this is the straw that broke the camel's back...smh
If you have the chance stay away it is not worth your time or money!!Shame on you
Can't wait 4faiba to join this area goodbye zuku!!!

@Señorita, most companies are like that. Very welcoming when joining and very lousy thereafter. Good example are banks. When opening an account they are all over you but when there is a problem utajiongelesha.

By your own admission, you are a perennial defaulter, why should they treat you like a prince(ss)? I have used zuku for the last couple of years and have not had major issues with them.

We were the first to have triple play in our area. They first rolled out internet which was a breather, then came the fibre optic. For first month was chaotic but we stuck with it. The service is fine. I'm planning to switch to the package above premium i.e. 8GB and more premium channels. Stick with it, you will enjoy once they take care of the bugs.


The problem is that they raise capital in the UK and not in Kenya. They raised $50m in the latest round of financing. I'd invest in this company without hesitating. ENJOY

I am not asking for any royal treatment I pay immediately I find out since I never receive the emails that the service is about to be cut off that's usually after the net is cut off all am asking for is the speed and efficiency they use to cut it off is the same way they should be to reconnect the service once you've paid.It's been a week since I paid and the services haven't been reconnected yet and they are always unavailable as I constantly try to contact them so if that's what you consider royal treatment well your standards are quite low!

I connected my folks on the TV and for about an year now it has been ok. Reconnection after Mpesa payments these days is actually very fast, sometimes within 5 minutes. Maybe they took the feedback from this thread.
