Again @djinn, on what research methodology are you basing your claim? Dustbin research? Give us your numbers and back them up...


You may call it dustbin research but the fact of the matter is that anecdotal evidence is clear that Airtel numbers have gone up since Sept.I do not have a single YU number on my phone.And since September more than half of my monthly mobile phone expenditure has shifted to Airtel.

I have a YU line but havent used it in 6 months.

Chris works for sufferingcon.He has been fighting for Scon for as long as I know.Hata safaricon ikinyamba , atapiga makofi.Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you Thats where his Unga comes from. So forgive him.

Even dustbin research can be valid.Many previously confidential documents end up in the dustbin.

By the way many cooperate customer service centers e.t.c use Yu to make calls and many cooperates use it to make inter-branch calls on their GSM switch board router whatever thingy, it is very cheap.Perhaps if you talked to teens you would find that yu is actually doing well with them. The data on Airtel is concrete, they are loosing those who rushed for the reduced calling price but are failing in getting new customers where Yu is beating them.

So in that case do you work for Butti Airtel now that you are their unofficial ambassador? Just because you use enjoy one providers services does not mean you work for them. And you are yet to provide hard facts and figures to back up your claim apart from 'anecdotal evidence' and 'I don't have a single yu number in my phonebook.' Dustbin research I tell you...

Fighting safcom is like removing meat from the mouth of an hungry dog... but is it easy?

Vimto, your report is very old, it is talking of Q4 2009/2010, we are talking about Q3 2010/2011

your conclusions are based on a sample of one (yourself) how reliable is that? Give us concrete numbers

sufcon is big and mean but i have my doubts about those numbers. with the club effect having come to an end (thanx airtel). sufcon may be able to hold on to their current subscribers but the battle has moved on to the new subscribers. and this is where YU is hooking the teenagers (just like tobacco companies). Did anyone catch the new orange data charges?very youth friendly.
if you aint livin on the edge,you are taking too much space....
