Nanfor,thanks for your response. However,do you have any specifics on what sort of problems your acquintances faced - e.g. in terms of speed,downtime,poor customer service etc. Were the problems specific to a certain location - parts of the country? As I understand it,Zuku is an offshoot from Wananchi Online and I know a few chaps who have been with Wananchi for over 5 years and are still sticking with them.
GG,indeed the offer reverts to normal pricing after June 7th. However,if one signs up before then,you get the half price for 6 months. After 6 months,charges should then revert to normal (in theory). However,I expect that 6 months from now,rates will have fallen in any case following arrival of cables etc. I also understand that there is no contract,and payments will be one month in advance at a time. Thus if I am not satisfied with the service I will simply opt out after 1 month. My downside is therefore limited to the Kshs 5,800 connection fee plus the Kshs 1,499 for the 256 Kbps offer. If it works OK,then my cost for 6 months including the connection fee averages Kshs 2,499 which is equal to the Kshs 2,499 Safaricom charges for 1GB bundle (not including the cost of the modem).
Men occasionally stumble over the truth,but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.
