@Bernard, Thanks for clarifying this. Even though I don't use prepaid, I always thought along the same lines as Gisho, and always wondered how it is that when you run out of units you'd still be able to reload on a supposedly dead link:-) On Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 18:27, Bernard Mwagiru <bmwagiru@gmail.com> wrote:
By "data" I suppose you meant the prepay voucher numbers. No.That data is not transmitted via the power lines to some backend billing system via some "big" LAN.
The vouchers are generated by the backend which are translated by the Prepay meter to some units.

Does anybody know how prepaid electricity by Kenya Power works? I envision they send the data via the same cable that caries power which in this case, its a big LAN.
can someone enlighten me please
