Does this box have free Free to Air FTA channels where one doesn't need the bundles?

Ngai Mwathani!


I'm telling you, the kids will finish that 50gb in 3 days max.

This big box is a midro class priced product, with masufferer bundles. You want to sell hardware for 10k, but dont have unlimited?

FAIL.

If your kids are playing 8hrs of an online game in three days, you have a bigger problem that won't be solved by unlimited internet!

During holidays each kid is allowed 2 hours online gaming per day on the PS4.

That's 4 hours a day of usage.

My guess was 50gb wont last long given what I've read on forums on the net.

Pls correct me as I want an alternative to Zuku.

If you download movies the smallest decent rip is 700 mb minimum. Each series episode is around 300mb. Say you watch 2 shows a day, thats 600 mb a day. 5 days a week, comes to 12gb. Add two movies per weekend thats now 18gb. Add kids with PS4 playing on weekends during term....I'm telling you this 50mb is masufferer, not midro class.

smile ukweli, if the 50gb if for content provision - then that is a joke, 5.0 Mbps minimum is needed for HD-quality streams and I don't know who would part with 4-5 k per month to watch youtube at 240p, lakini we are a peculiar people.

That 50 GB per month is a big joke if you're a heavy user. For newspaper readers wako sawa. But Safcom is used to selling bundles so it's hard for them to cannibalise their bundles business by giving unlimited via another route. Catch 22 for them. ZUKU breathes a sigh of relief and keeps moving. Safaricom must ask themselves where the value will be. We're looking for value. Capped bundles are not valuable to us.
