Well, Safaricom better come up with something to challenge Orange! Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Orange is now charging KES 2,200 for 4GB while Safaricom still charges KES 4,999 for 3GB of data. Safaricom should wake up to reality. I have gone back to Orange!

i love every bit of this .But i was hoping they shld have halved the unlimited bundle. Orange are very sensitive to the market and thats why they are leading in the data segment. Orange ,Hoya ,Hoya . Down with Safaricon. Your future depends on your dreams so go to sleep !

Orange Unlimited is still 990/- per week... lakini the speeds can be poor... Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

I will venture to guess that a good number of folks will unsubscribe from the Unlimited Orange Kshs 990 a week tariff in favour of the 4GB while the offer lasts. VIVA ORANGE, but I hope this offer becomes a permanent one!

Yu still has the daily unlimited offer of 49 bob. Speeds OK, one can use up data upto 300MB or more in a day, depending on RAM capacity. Monthly unlimited is 999 bob. Far much better than sufferingcon. Am waiting for a better 3G unlimited offer! "Never regret, if its good, its wonderful. If its bad, its experience."

 We shall keep moving with the changes in the prices but believe you me Safaricom is going 4 th Generation at a where the speed will be 600mb/s Better have a fast internet rather than have unlimited free bundles which one cannot utilize

@richsisco Haha....have you ever downloaded at 4Mbps?Your machine cannot handle 600Mbps.Try 4Mbps first and tell me how it copes. I think 4G is crap.Let them give us the proverbial 7.2Mbps on 3G. Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

At 600Mbps, you can run google.....with 3 cables at Mombasa you dont even see real 1Mbps here...dont hold your breath for 4G, or 5G or 6G Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

That was the thinking in Celtel back in the day when guys were still marveling over the speeds on gprs/edge. "Africa is not ready for 3G" they said. "Why offer them cake while all they need is bread?" they mocked. Now see them running around like headless chicken asking for the 3G licence fees to be reduced. I bet you we'll be having this same conversation some time in 2020 when Safaricom will be launching 6G. "Africa is not ready for 6G" they will say...

Chris,what i mean is that 4g right now is total crap.Not in 2020.Safcom hardly gets to 2mbps on thier 3g. . .while the max for 3g is 7.2mbps.Why not get to at least half of that before going to 4g?My 2nd point. . . .4g can get to speeds of 600mbps.As we speak now,your network cable and internal comp busses can barely support those kinds of speeds.Please try get onto a kdn link and you might get to 2.2mbps,tell me how your machine handles that.Asking for 4g now is like asking for a Diablo for a drive on Moi Avenue. . .for now. Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

How do you say safaricom is launching 4G yet it does not have a 3G Platform? Guys wacheni kuwa confused by the names. Let the company get 3G first! LOVE WHAT YOU DO, DO WHAT YOU LOVE.
