I think (not sure) that in the first case you are paying for volume up to 1.5B so you enjoy the best throughputs the network can offer. In the second case, you are unlimited on volume but limited on time. So that you dont abuse the network, your throughputs are capped at 256kbps.




Is the cap for uplink, downlink or both?

@GG: The cap is for downlink; my reliable source tells me uplink traffic is infinitesmall and therefore largely encouraged, and cannot be capped.

Go for the unlimited one if you are someone who uses the internt throughout. It may be slow but since you have more time you can let the downloads run in the background as you do other stuff.


I hardly finish 600 mb, 1.5gb is more than I need. It is too slow by the way, I cannot even place an order!


Did you say you were unable to finish 600mb of data because i can clear that in a sitting.


Im using safcom only when i open cfc activelite rest of stuff I use orange. But now I will still be ok with 1.5Gb and I wont have to use my orange modem. What the hell do you open?

Hmm, never knew about the speed limit placed on the unlimited offer. I've always used Orange, though. They've had low prices all along and I find their connection more stable than Safaricom's.

@seppuku: The world over, all unlimited offers are capped, for the simple reason that if they are not, a few users will take advantage and over-use the network (like leaving the laptop downloading 100 movies all day and night, throughout the week) to the detriment of other ordinary users. The throughputs are therefore capped at a level that discourages continuous download of heavy applications, while encouraging continuous uptake of ordinary web browsing and research etc. For heavy users, the speed is not capped, but the volume to be downloaded is limited.
