@David,

I bought that Huawei E1820 from Safcom at KES 9,999 so I am LTE-compliant! Soon, I will ask Bob Collymore personally to explain to me what his intentions were when he made the decision to sell E1820 without the accompanying service, yet we all could live with the E160 anyway. I had hoped that this disruptive upgrade they had would also usher in new crazy speeds, but alas! Yesterday, some installers contracted by them spent a day at a client (I'd requested them to install the LITE service for) waiting to get someone at Safaricom to provision the WiMAX. This whole waiting was because "the Billing System" was still down.....

It's understandable that sh*t happens with systems, but someone would have thought Safcom had simulated this over and over, given their economic might.
