I have come to this humble conclusion

Safaricon 3G is faster/reliable than Faiba4G

This is based on Full bar network strengths within Kahawa/ Ruiru Area

I have given up on this Faiba4G thing. Lemme stick to Safaricon/ Telecom

This Faiba is just but a Branded Tortoise. Nothing more

Anyone with the latest Faiba4G Update or info on How to get it. Aside from Physically going to their Offices which I consider cumbersome/ inconvenient.

Or better yet how to unlock the modem to access other providers

Just buy the 4G mobile wifi router that you can use with sim card of any of the providers at ksh.12k

Was hoping to make use of the already purchased investment.
I had purchased the Mifi a while back.
In hindsight it was the wrong move

It works well for me. I primarily use it in (built-up) Nairobi and Mombasa. I have not used it in the exurbs of Nairobi. Decent speeds.

I think Faiba4G isn't for everyone and works well where Faiba JTL (fibre) provides service i.e. they have nodes/bases since they seem to piggy back on the "underground cable" rather than towers.

I also use Safaricom but that's not for data intensive usage and primarily on my mobile phone.

I pay 1,000 monthly for 25Gbs. They have a weekly bundle at 300 for 8Gbs. I also buy Saf bundles as needed. Lots of places offer (not always reliable) free WiFi nowadays.

The irony is that I buy Faiba bundles using M-Pesa Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

The main disadvantage of my preferred usage of Faiba4G is the use a modem which can die + the phone uses more battery power when it's on WiFi.
