Kiania, the double-standards aren't surprising at all. They are a natural consequence of being a monopoly (as Microsoft knows too well and Google is discovering).
Apparently I have been able to use my Zain phone for browsing all day,
without any hitches.
I've however, noticed that the use of modem is was not working a few
minutes ago, as I'm able to download, upload and read my mails using
the modem.
On double standards, I have noticed that too. When one mentions any
outage on or issues with Safaricom, everybody points an accusing
finger but when it is about Zain... well, we tend to go silent as
though it is an inexistent company in Kenya.

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all
the same way to the side of a hill!
AND
It is better to die in dignity than in the ignomity of ambiguous generosity!
