Youve seen all the ads all over town, 256 Kbps line for 1499/= a month, with installation at 3000/=.

Thats half the monthly price from Access and Tangerine, and a quarter the cost of installation.

I hope they make it, I hope someone punishes the greedy ISPs for restricting our access to bandwidth!

Where do you access ZUKU from? I was thinking the experience may depend on where you're accessing it from. Perhaps town is best? How's their residential service?

i have been with zuku for the past 3 months and the service provision has bettered of late as the speeds are fair and reliable with little redundancy.

wonder whether safcon will react appropriately to its expensive data

@kularaha They installed a radio receiver at my place. They have bts allover. I guess if they were to use the tv cable speeds would be ok

Let me call and enquire.

If they're good, we should start selling access kenya shares.

my experience with zuku has not been very positive. They took too long to conduct a site survey and in the end i had to ask for a refund because the service was not available from my site.
i must say its just a matter of time before all these ISPs drop their prices rock bottom and concentrate on quality of service to differentiate themselves. Data Services is becoming a commodity

Yeah. Safcom shud follow suite.

NB: Hi format ya discussions ina bore!! SK/WAZUA try to use the format for discussions u used to use in SK PLS.
Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.

Safcom is EXPENSIVE. Hii ZUKU wacha tuone. But will they have the capacity to support thousands of clients? That is the big question.

I would still go for Acess & Safaricom on this one.
Being slightly expensive means they only get customer numbers that they can handle thus enough bandwidth for everyone. Zuku on the other hand is cheap thus will grow faster than they can handle.
Unlike zuku access is REAL dedicated bandwidth.

If you used safaricom during the unlimited offer you must have noticed speeds were reduced by almost 50% why? Because the the consumers overwhelmed their bandwidth.

Moral of the story : If you are willing to part with a few thousand shillings you will save yourself a lot of time, stress and get really good speeds.Laughing out loudly
