Guys, How is the Zuku Internet service. I got some very bad vibe on their service on this forum a few months ago. Have they improved. I called their office and they claim to be on Seacom ? Are they lying. I need an honest and objective opinion from people who are customers - If its crap say it as it is ..if it is good let me know. I want a connection tommorow. Kevin PS I stay in Buru Buru
