Forget about airtel when you are outside the major towns. Safaricom reigns supreme then followed by Telkom kenya
I would want to think it is the other way around. Telkom has the advantage of a previously widely laid out telecommunications network. Maybe the sleeping giant is now woke
Do you ever see those Telkom cables anymore? They are currently being used as cloth lines in the various neighborhoods. The company with the most laid out fibre Optic cable will be King in the communication arena. KPLC - Safaricom
Telkom kenya has the most laid out fiber.They just need brains/minds on how to utilise it

I think instead of these providers enticing people with Freebies, they should instead invest in their network, to guarantee quality and reliability. Otherwise they will never catch up The other day I struggled to load credit on my Airtel line for more than 5minutes. And this was within an Urban Centre-Malindi
Michael Joseph and Bob Collymore once said safaricom doesn't do charity,they are in business. The likes of airtel are doing charity,very cheap data offers but non-existent

Exactly. It's why I'm wondering why people are still stuck on ancient technology. The brains are now there, a shame that they are foreign

4G has been around since 2010 or thereabout...expect 5G to be rolled out from 2020 or thereabout. 6G from 2030...it's a very, very hot race in some labs out there
