Personally I'm so frustrated with Safaricom modem as I fell 'hook, line and sinker' for the hype and upgraded to 21mbps modem.

I'm considering a downgrade as even when it writes HSPA+, download speed is more intermittent than WCDMA. I resorted to Orange which delivers better.

Just now using both modems:
Orange:

Safaricom:

@muganda, On Orange:

*are you using the EVDO which goes upto a max of 3.1Mbps or their new 21Mbps modem

*Are you on bundle or unlimited package

*do orange cap speed on their unlimited data package

Am also tired of the slow safcon unlimited package and am shopping for the best alternative

Can one get a 42Mbps modem (or higher) that is not locked to a given service provider. Such that when it comes to kuhama one will only buy the new line?

I really donot understand safcom why shout at the top of the hill you have a 42 mbps network and subscribers will still get capped at 64 KB/s. Its total bulllshit. They say akili ni nywele but sadly bob collymore doesnt have both.

I hear bob will be selling the 42Mbps modem at KES 25K. Damn!!! Does he have to bring a new modem every time he upgrades. Cant he adopt a futuristic approach and bring a modem that will cover future development. I agree @QW, "Its total bulllshit. They say akili ni nywele but sadly bob collymore doesnt have both."

I use orange and the only cap they have is reduced speed after you do 30GB of download for the unlimited package.. but even after that its still pretty fast does over 256kbs and does not drop like safcom does.. I can never look back
