Sema wazuans,

I have been using Orange net on modem, 1 month unlimited and am not very impressed with the price/performance ratio (3k/32kBps).

I was at YU kenyatta avenue 3hrs ago struck a convo with one of the queuers on the line just to know whether their net is good but they couldn't tell.

I gather 1 month unlimited on YU is like 5sok. Am not looking to download Nasa's database, but just want something for research and checking mail and light downloads (200MB files) without getting wrinkles waiting for the download to finish. I remember using Airtel 2g at 50/- per day before they rolled out 3.75g and I was comfortable with their speeds, they weren't too bad for moderate usage, am not looking to spend 6k a month on them either. Am just curious about YU's unlimited monthly offer. Will it drive me crazy with intermittent service?

So does YU 2g fit the bill or should I hang on to Orange until something better crops up?

Sawa but, the way you have posted, aren't there wazuans who are part time Orange snitchers? The reason I am asking is that I have seen some post somewhere here about how a new trick had been discovered only for it to blocked days later on posting here and it was about something to do with how you can buy bundles using the modem.

Everytime I keep reading negatives about other networks, so I continue holding on to safcom.
Quite expensive yeah,(I spend like 3,500p/m on bundles) but I like the speed.
I am yet to find a better network.

It seems wazuans have already given yunet a red card even without trying it. I am going to dare it for you.

What is making me scream against safcom is i keep forgetting to buy the bundles and i lose 1k in hours! NKT

@Jim, give details. Otherwise, we will just assume ur a yunet hater or a safcom/airtel/orange sycophant.

E.g. your location, limitations of the unlimited 499/- (hidden details), speeds, fair usage policy if any, hidden charges..... etc

Airtel unlimited is 3k a month

you can hardly open anything, to be honest yunet is absolute garbage. i'm 16kms from nairobi cbd & the signal strength is good, about 70 percent. Go to their facebook page & see the comments

True dat. Orange on day one will give you 3.8Mbps then a day later speeds dip to 32kBps,it's a wonder how it is being touted to be the best yet is worse than zuku. I just torched my Orange line on 8th when my 1 month free net run out when all hope was lost at the #123# trick. The speeds crawled at 16kBps so doesn't even make any sense on saving cash. So am on Airtel for now on my zte.



Am sure you can get a better deal than that. Since they ng'oad unlimited they must be upto something and am not looking there direction at least not anytime soon.





No sooner had he posted than the speeds dipped to hell (16kBps) even with that trick



Safcom wanakupenda sana! You are the reason they won't go a day hungry even if they serve you with air burgers They probably have a donkey like emoticon just to identify you on their side.



Bluetooth 2.0 has a theoretical speed of about 2.1Mbps so given a real world application this is a bottleneck, it is better to USB tether if you must.



Coming from zuku,that suggestion is more expensive since zuku link was serving more than 1 pc but coz of their new capping techniques and late payment penalty I am steering away from zuku and realized the speeds strangely seem to be higher with these 3g modems than zuku fibre optic installation

@dunkang am awaiting your experience anxiously I hope you live like 3km from cbd

i've used yu unlimited. the good news is it's not capped; the bad news is: it disconnects severally and it's too damn slow-sahau youtube or any download beyond 10MB, unless you are extremely patient...

Exactly we want to know the speeds and anyone with a better deal just post here, if our local isps are planning a modem compatible simcard release just for net tuambiye pia, its about time we broke from this conservative nature of the market and stirred the competition for best services cheaply. Airtel has an offer now, if you buy bundles above 250/= you get double your data purchased. Sijui promo naisha lini. If they screw up I'll just torch their line and move to the next big thing, being a data nomad is fun!!!!!!
