@Muganda .. i did not mislead anyone....u totally misunderstood my wall post.. i indicated that in putting forward our views we should clerly distinguish the Black ZTE-EVDO..modem (which rolled out in july 2009 and is sim-card less) and the white EVDO-MODEM that is currently in the market.

as u correctly put it ,one is from ZTE and the other HUAWEI..but both use the EV-DO technology.But for some reason i have a colleague who bought it and tells me its not as stable as the black one...All in all i think its all a matter of preference....and i have a big bias for the blackmodem ..i wouldnt even trade it in for 20 k......
The black modem was going for kshs.3990- and i called my orange agent and confirmed its no longer in stock.The white modem that uses a sim-card and goes for about 3 k--is the one in
n stock

i have not been able to connect my huawei orange EVDO modem for the last three days (msa area)...keeps saying "error...the remote computer did not respond". called orange n they seem to suggest it is my modem but i know it is not coz i have tested it in the office as well. anyone has had similar probs?? and again, is it normal for this modem to keep dropping the connection evry so often. it is annoying n am thinking of unlocking the damn thing!

God Pathetic speeds nini mbaya? cant even download a book,,, YIKES!!!

Both Seacom and TEAMS fibre optic cables suffered massive disruptions today hence the slow internet speeds and difficulties in making some international calls...
