I believe they pay a fixed fee per megabit of bandwidth per month. They then sell it on to us, 50 users can share a 1Mbit connection.
In a place where thought is abandoned, freedom can become a curse.

Safaricom has slashed internet access charges for its post-paid customers by up to 133 per cent....Check Business Daily.

what about pre-paid customers.Safcom is just a company w/o direction.Post-Paid customers account for less than 10% of its data client yet its concentrating w/ this small segmement.
Why isnt safaricom NOT considering the pre-paid customers.Could it be Orange beat them to this market in the first place ? I think so.

Wait a moment...

If an item is 100/- & I get a 50% discount then it costs me 50/-

If I a 75% discount then it costs me 25/-

If I get a 100% discount then it costs me 0/-

So if I get a 133% discount then does Safaricom pay me?

Seems' like safcon wants to get more people into post-paid with this new prices, that way they'll be guranteed return biz. MJ once said prepaid customers are unreliable coz leo ako kwako kesho kwa jirani and hence from this l derive my logic.

This is really pissing me off. I guess I will continue using my slow Orange 3G+ modem. I am also looking out for Zuku, if its super fast speeds and ultra low costs (relatively) turn out to be true.

I am using Safaricom Wimax at home and its really fast, speeds can reach 1.5 mbps at night. Their costs are a bit on the higher side though (5999) but I hear Zuku has introduced super low Wimax offers and even greater speeds (eti wanakinda 8 mbps at 4k). Hope these safaricom leeches lower their price for some of us under contract

Now get 100% more data for the same price on purchase of any data bundle, eg 1,000 bob will get you 600MB instead of the usual 300MB. Yet another safaricom offer...
