This is really odd - no Internet and Smartphone slowing down on Safcom..
On Safcom 3G.... I am able to access local sites but not int'l sites - this is okay for me, because I can use a proxy on another network for int'l sites, but ... My smartphone, a Garmin Asus M10, also joining in the dance is a bit weird... network signal keeps fluctuating and so the phone is like hanging (of course it's running Windows Mo 6.5).. I can use all features on the device except the phone and txt-ing.. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

I moved out of my hse to Wilson Airport. Phone works, but not sure about Internet now. A friend of mine in Emba had problems with Internet too, so maybe his area was also affected! Maybe I should call CCARE and find out, rather than rely on other techies. Sometimes CCare do lie, or simply treat everyone like a novice - remove modem from PC, remove the SIM card from the modem, reboot computer - yet the modem is the bloody USB thing! I've never understood why I need to remove SIM card from USB modem. So instead of calling CCare and laughing my lungs out, I always try to find out from these workaholics on this list - they are better ccare than CCARE:-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
I did call ccare and confirmed that there was an issue affecting voice/data in some areas... Sometimes, restarting PC does work...I've assisted some clients who have some program/software locking the dial-up port, I've had to access the registry sometimes...so sometimes telling the client to reboot seems to free this ports, rather than having to go through the painful process of answering the various "whys" and "how comes" :-) bernard On Sun, Aug 29, 2010 at 4:40 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

But when you tell them you are using the Huawei router, and they ask you to restart both router and PC?? Well, I can blame that on the "mboys" from Redmond:) Sometimes talking to ccare is so much fun, except that you are stuck at that moment. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
