even the media has started noticing the insults on twitter and facebook pages for safcom......People have gallons of bile.

bob collymore must be the most hated CEO in east africa.

....but I miss Michael Joseph for understanding our peculiar habits....of course competitive environment has changed, but things might have been different.

and the use for my safaricom line is reducing drastically.
African parents don't know how to say sorry.. the closest you will get to a sorry is a 'have you eaten'

Am not an employee but...NIKO NA SAFARICOM! Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly
Anyway, I overheard that one of the reasons for the scrapping of the unlimited bundle is our peculiar habit of downloading porn and movies series thus "congesting" the bandwidth smile

Anyway what does that mean to competitors in the long run. My 2 cents, we will all move to them and "clog" their bandwidth. In the short run safcom will loose customers but some of us will troop in back once the speeds have become unbearable on the other side of the greenery.

What part of the word "UNLIMITED" did safcom not understand when they chose to launch it in an internet service?
What was the point of that lousy excuse given by Collymore about Kenyans downloading 35GB a day? Isn't 35GB a limited figure already?
Unlimited is when the net monitor returns an infinity sign when queried about a users downlink data not figures touching 35GB!
Were there terms and conditions as how to use the "UNLIMITED" service? If there were why does it have its name as "UNLIMITED"?

There is just too toooo much that doesn't make any sense to agree with the move of withdrawing the service. I would only see it as a strategy to return to its lost glory of spectacular profits which can't happen with the word "UNLIMITED" in any of its services.

Thats why they had bandwith throttled for unlimited data, you can still download a movie with the fixed data bundles.
I think its just a move to make individuals buy more bundles.

Guess it's time to check if the grass is greener on the other side cz this could be the end of my loyalty to colic.

Ni kuhama Pap! kesho.Somebody please tell me which network is best in terms of speed and cost.
Orange or Airtel?

Seems Safaricom might overtake Kenya Power as the most hated company judging by posts on their Facebook page and Twitter. Withdrawal of the "unlimited" didn't go down well with folks on social media.

we said itsnot becasue of porn or other dirty stuff thats congesting the network becasue actually there's no bandwidth to be misused . given that they throttle it alllllot . am thinking maybe they have taken that bandwidth somewhere else where it will pay more !

this is a stone cold, hard business decision ..whoever decided to go ahead with capping usage also decided they can live with the backlash and the insults ...so yapping about it wont help.
its no longer a monopoly ...orange and airtel have comparable ...even better speeds at some places and times ..
Just vote with your feet ...go to the network that offers the best data deals and shut up.

Which Safcon was that? Even just watching a short Youtube video is difficult. How did guys manage to download movies on the unlimited?
