Having left Zuku and moved to JTL Faiba, I have noted Safcom have now laid cable outside my place. Am tempted to vuka again, 20mbs for 5k as opposed to JTL's 5mpbs.

Any Safcom fibre reviews? How reliable is it?

I recently got safaricom fibre.

You get exactly what you pay for. If it is 10Mps, it is 10 both upstream and downstream. No FUP stories. And all the people in the house can enjoy, whether online gaming or streaming on the TV, computer, or mobile at the same time. Plus you can change your subscription from month to month without any penalties or charges.

However, they do state that service can be degraded if all your neighbours are online at the same time - but I am yet to experience that.

ZUKU vs SAFCOM. Round One

The good thing about Safaricom fiber is that its Fiber to the home and thats where it shines over zuku.zuku is cable internet.and safricom's vuma has symmetrical speeds asin same upload and download very useful for office connectivity.Safaricom vuma using GPON can easily scale upto 1Gbit per second of net speed for subscribers with a few clicks of a button whilst zuku will have to redo their whole network they are putting now just to support even 500mbps.donot know why zuku is so short sighted.networks are built for the future you know

I migrated to Safaricom in December. It's been excellent and the customer service is on point too.

BBI will solve it :)

Zuku stated during the launch of their 250Mbps service that their infrastructure would now support 1Gbps connections.

I've only heard good things from the people I know who've switched. Personally I switched from JTL to Zuku because of consistently slower speeds than what I was paying for, high latency and frequent downtime. So far no problems with Zuku but it could just be the location.

Zuku went for a cheaper technology to implement
