I used to hate customers who don't give feedback once their problem is solved. After being contacted by Safaricom's tech team and  a bit of back and forth - the 'net is flying like Kenya Airways on steroids!

Still chugging along like cold syrup on Riverside drive - this is so pathetic - due to the excessive timeouts, it is chewing up my Internet bundle like a forest fire, the number of retransmissions due to corrupted sessions is too excessive.

When I was running an ISP I would give 2 weeks to 1 months credit for this kind of service, and those were during the days when we depended on satellite.
