How accurate is safariCON internet billing? I have installed bit defender internet firewall that monitors all incoming and outgoing network traffic. After 1 hour of surfing bit defender tells me i have used 38Mb in total while SafariCON, tells me I have userd 116.77MB. How can this be?

I noticed it when surfing on my phone and my airtime credit would be chewed up like I dont know what. I now use Airtel. Something's up with Safcom On 9 July 2011 20:37, Jacob Ayienda <jacobayienda@gmail.com> wrote:

Had said this before; we need to investigate how we can chart handshake messages *versus* actual internet payload. I had made the argument that Safaricom charges for all data between the phone and the core network - get, push, pull, put etc However, somebody on the list made an argument that the handshake/control data is very minimal; whilst somebody in the industry had made an argument that this 'control data' could account for over 50% of the actual data. If we could find a way to quantify the amount of 'handshake/control' data to Safcom Core then we could have a case. A long time ago, 100 bob used to last me a week on phone browsing; siku hizi barely 2 days - something is definately up!
Take a wireshark trace on your modem port and enable all possible protocols. Separate payload from signalling and measure the volume of bytes involved.You'll get your answer. ./bernard On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 10:32 AM, ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com>wrote:
