It was for the IN. If it where LTE, no such upgrade or interruption would have been neccessary, since LTE uses different equipment from the existing 3G and 2G network. On 28 February 2011 12:39, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:

@David, I bought that Huawei E1820 from Safcom at KES 9,999 so I am LTE-compliant! Soon, I will ask Bob Collymore personally to explain to me what his intentions were when he made the decision to sell E1820 without the accompanying service, yet we all could live with the E160 anyway. I had hoped that this disruptive upgrade they had would also usher in new crazy speeds, but alas! Yesterday, some installers contracted by them spent a day at a client (I'd requested them to install the LITE service for) waiting to get someone at Safaricom to provision the WiMAX. This whole waiting was because "the Billing System" was still down..... It's understandable that sh*t happens with systems, but someone would have thought Safcom had simulated this over and over, given their economic might. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!
E1820 is not yet LTE compliant. it is actually 3.5G and supports higher version of HSDPA called 'HSPA+' that theoretically does up to 21Mbps. LTE kits was going for about USD 500 last time i checked On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 10:11 AM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

USD 500? Was Safcom selling them? Why?? :-) Anyway, I will need to ask them why I am not getting 21Mbps in all Nairobi then, because if I can't I need a refund:) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!
