Shh! Don't spill the beans on this. Someone from Safcom will block the use of this facility. Just wait! On 16/04/2009, Steve Obbayi <steve@sobbayi.com> wrote:
For a long time there'd been ripples between me and $afcom I have this laptop running windows media center and I couldn't use their hspda modem coz it doesn't have drivers for it.
Then there was the usual statement.. "we are working on it". anyway a few months ago I bought the nokia E71 and hooked it up as a modem to my laptop. And since then I've been downloading stuff at amazing speeds, even on blue tooth link to the laptop. It's common to get 200kbps plus downloads esp at night with this phone

I once uploaded a file at 26KB/s (KB not Kb). That's more than I've seen in an upload for a long time. I was satisfied with the connection quality. I spent KSH.14 instead of KSH 60 in an internet cafe. This should be an early warning for internet cafes!
It's cheaper and it's faster, and I can only bet that it will get even more cheaper and faster.

I've used the Nokia N81 to surf the net through a laptop from South C and I must say the exprience has been great. This is mostly in the evening. For an hour of Skype chat (not voice or video) and opening around 10 web pages the charge was KSH. 14.
Assuming this was on 3G (I haven't touched an N81), and that you are on prepaid, this means you transferred about 2MB the whole session since they charge KES 8/MB. However, I wonder what this has to do with the speeds?
