by Brian Ngure 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi Guys, I have seen many discussions on this list about the Safaricom, Zain, Orange and Yu modems. My question is, which of them is the better option (no pun intended)? Better option means: 1. Cost (of both the modem and data) 2. Best speeds 3. Easiest to configure on Linux [?] -- Regards Brian Ngure
