Safaricom Bundles Running out extra Fast
by Mark Mwangi 25 Apr '17

25 Apr '17

All, I have noticed complaints from several people especially last week that bundles were vanishing. The response from safaricom was to promote an add asking people to check their background data but that seems disingenuous. Just because you have 4G doesn't mean your data consumption automatically shoots up. Whats your take on this? Disclaimer* I use UnlimiNet from Airtel not quite affected by this. -- Regards, Mark Mwangi markmwangi.me.ke

I would be curious to know how your system achieves "tamper-proofness" when SMS's and GSM networks in general are insecure. Do share the paper!

JTL account managers are wack I had a inside guy who used to push for me ..now I was given one who never picks my calls or reply to emails or texts , their support I think is not well manned so getting through is hard.. I use JTL coz they're cheap and own the infrastructure not for customer service..

JTL Bandwidth
by geoffrey gitagia 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Hi Skunks I've been having a problem with JTL and I'm thinking they're trying to force upgrade me.. See below 1. They say that I'm over utilizing my link , but I've not made any additional load on my link.. Speed test using international speed sites 1pc connected to router I'm getting less than 1 mbps but they say we use theirs which give 20 Mbps .. Ofcourse we all know this is false 2. I've created a point to point tunnel.. The services on the other side are being accessed with no change in performance almost LAN like speeds .. Now the tunnel connects over the internet since it's public ip (JTL) to public ip (safaricom) 3. Even with slow internet Email should be working okay ..but our client pcs aren't able to download even a lowsy test 5kb email I highly suspect they're upto no good.. I'll upgrade and redo all my tests so as to have evidence in future.. But what say yee?
