Usually a CEO operates by the targets set by the Board and in extension shareholders (kenyans)..... i can imagine the conversation CEO: we need 2Billion to roll out 3G and we hope to recoup in 5 years Board: We shall give you 2B, if you can recoup it in 2-3 Years....and profits thereafter CEO: ok!

** Bla bla bla, we know the constraints. Don't forget you're on a tech forum. The bottom line of this whole speed story is not about infrastructure; the bottom line is that Safaricom(and all the other mobile networks) want a quick return on investment on their 3G network, and they want to maintain the super-profits that they've been earning on voice and SMS in the past. Do not try to deny this, I can pull recordings from YouTube of Micheal Joseph saying that Safcom must make their money back within 2 years :eyeroll: . This is ridiculous thinking. A 3G network is a long-term investment. There is nothing wrong with recouping your money in 5-10 years while making your customers happy and making a normal profit.

you guys should understand the constraints of providing connectivity thru gsm/3g wireless access channels (that handle voice/data/mpesa and sms )and should not be compared with data dedicated wimax links

There are guys who were comfortable paying a thousand bob for 600mb so the new tariffs are a good deal for them. The rest of us bargain hunters/heavy users have other options. The best way to show your sentiment is with your wallet.

Perhaps increasing the bandwidth is the way to go but uncapped bandwidth is too dangerous...all those hungry torrents just waiting to devour every space of bandwidth, just a few clients can bring down an entire network...sigh, the perils of wireless technology...

Well, I like the 1k plan for a week of usage... but how do they expect that to compete with orange, whose 1k/week is uncapped?

I believe the plans are designed with every user in mind...The 4GB @ 2499/- does just fine for me...the throttled unlimited plan, not so.
