I am really impressed with the new safcom pricing on their data bundles. I know they are cannibalizing their margins before Airtel launches, but who cares. I'll take it plus the have the best internet experience. I like the 30 day uncapped (interms of bandwidth) 3G bundle for 30 days plus you rollover unused data into the following month. Awesome and well done. Kiania D. -- [Asentric Consulting Ltd] "The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in war." - Navy SEAL INSTRUCTOR
David, there was talk of capped bandwidth at 128Kbps. Is that true?

David . are you positive that its 30 days uncapped for 30 days. Are there any limits as to how much you are allowed to download per month . It sounds to good to be true but still is expensive .

Vinnie, Before you open a movie distribution company powered by the torrent group. You may want to consider that it capped on throuput aka bandwidth not volume. This is a 3GB service ;-) Kiania D On 22 Jul 2011 13:23, "Vincent Wayodi" <wayodi@gmail.com> wrote: David . are you positive that its 30 days uncapped for 30 days.

Lol ....Just finished downloading Harry Porter .. i knew it was too good to be true. I will hold fire for now ... my orange "7 day unlimited package" is doing just fine until the next best option comes around . Vince
Am not impressed. They are still relatively more expensive than all the rest. All they did in my view was harmonize with the other telcos. 3g junkies will be happy though. On Jul 22, 2011 2:07 PM, "Vincent Wayodi" <wayodi@gmail.com> wrote:

You gotta love the business acumen (or spy tactics) that the shot callers at Safaricom have. Zain or Orange are probably about to launch their 3G at similar rates and now their punch is gone with the wind. Interesting times ahead. . . On 7/25/11, Timothy Mutugi <timothymutugi@gmail.com> wrote:

Why data bundles/rates only ?Why not the best combi? In the end, whoever gives the whole package, carries the day.And ultimately, the consumer wins.

True the one with the best ecosystem will ultimately come out tops (or remain tops) problem is am not seeing the others building a seamless ecosystem. If they are am just not seeing it. Only safaricom seem to have it covered what with their online presence and ease of buying bundles etc. lets see how it goes. On 7/25/11, Bernard Mwagiru <bmwagiru@gmail.com> wrote:

@David. I'm sure this is a leap forward from everyone. And i'm sure it'll satisfy a lot more people but, for those of us who've had the chance to taste speeds in other countries about ten years ago, and up to as recently as this year, it makes a difference knowing how much the local ISP's make off the consumers. I can confidently say they've made at least if not more, 2 - 3 Million from my spending between home and Work use over the past twelve years. And i'll also say this about the infrastructure that keeps getting mentioned. *SC#$W *the Infrastructure. This has nothing to do with the infrastructure. It has everything to do with wanting to make more money. I can get in to details about how much i despise what's happening but i'd rather make a difference. So. Can anyone get me the numbers of TEAMS or SEACOM or KDN with a direct reference point? * W.* On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 5:36 PM, David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd < kianiadee@gmail.com> wrote:

@Watchie, None of the ISPs have given us anything close to 64K let alone 256K. I have streamed an entire soccer match on Safaricom bambanet with very little breakage. While you were out for 10 years, we were building the networks, and the quality and reach still leaves alot to be desired of. Welcome back to Kenya, and learn to live within the constraints, trust me internet is the least of them ;-) Kiania D. PS. I have an Accesskenya link at home, It cant compare to Safcom. (Sorry Raymond it's the truth) On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 5:41 PM, Watchman <skunkingrahim@gmail.com> wrote:

Umm.. I've not been out for ten years. I've had the chance to test them ten years ago and as recently as this year. I live in KE. And this is where i had my first Dialup about 17 years ago. Or was it 16. In any case, it's been progressively.. SLOW. I agree. It's good to be able to have a 256KB connection. It's Great in fact not just good. But let's take a look at: Dormans Sarit. Some of you may know it as my Sunday hangout from a few years back. And about two years ago, they landed a fibre connection. God help me, i was downloading at 4 MB/s that's not 4MegaBits, but 4,000KB/s. This is the reality of how fast our internet can be. I remember when the Fiber was landing in KE we had extensive talks here on Skunks regarding the bandwidth it was going to bring in and the estimated piping right now as well is close to 14 TB's of DATA. this makes me exclaim .. *WTF!* where is all that bandwidth going? and the answer we all get is.... either the infrastructure's not in place. Or What bandwidth? So in response to what anyone says regarding an up in bandwidth ( keep in mind, the 128 to 256 upgrade though seemingly an overnight thing probably took about a month in implementing and a year in timing so as to make their clients feel.. ooohh... they care ) I'm not for international markets. I'm not for living in another country. I'm for here. I am for a better tomorrow. I intend on there being changes here because i believe we can do a truck load better. Not just a little, we can be better than the US. The UK, probably better than the Asian countries from where my forefathers came . IF WE BELIEVE WE CAN!. Not with the attitude of .. YAY! so they upped the bandwidth a little, i'm going to go home and download a 3GB file in a day! YAAAY!! . ( I'm not pointing fingers, if i was i wouldnt be afraid of pointing names ) Have some integrity as Techies for what it's worth, i've been a tech in KE for close to 14 years now and i'll say this. We've got a long ass way to go to catch up with the rest of the world if we keep up our current attitude of yeah, someday we'll get that 15Meg link at home. Maybe my kids will get it. My two and a half cents. * W.* On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 6:11 PM, David Njuguna <dnjuguna@gmail.com> wrote:

@Watchman, I couldn't have said it any better. When you have experienced the kind of bandwidth you get in other countries, this announcement just boils down to a BIG JOKE!!! Steve ----- "Watchman" <skunkingrahim@gmail.com> wrote:
Umm.. I've not been out for ten years. I've had the chance to test them ten years ago and as recently as this year.
I live in KE. And this is where i had my first Dialup about 17 years ago. Or was it 16. In any case, it's been progressively.. SLOW.
I agree. It's good to be able to have a 256KB connection. It's Great in fact not just good. But let's take a look at: Dormans Sarit. Some of you may know it as my Sunday hangout from a few years back. And about two years ago, they landed a fibre connection. God help me, i was downloading at 4 MB/s that's not 4MegaBits, but 4,000KB/s. This is the reality of how fast our internet can be.
I remember when the Fiber was landing in KE we had extensive talks here on Skunks regarding the bandwidth it was going to bring in and the estimated piping right now as well is close to 14 TB's of DATA. this makes me exclaim .. WTF! where is all that bandwidth going? and the answer we all get is....
either the infrastructure's not in place. Or What bandwidth?
So in response to what anyone says regarding an up in bandwidth ( keep in mind, the 128 to 256 upgrade though seemingly an overnight thing probably took about a month in implementing and a year in timing so as to make their clients feel.. ooohh... they care )
I'm not for international markets. I'm not for living in another country. I'm for here. I am for a better tomorrow. I intend on there being changes here because i believe we can do a truck load better. Not just a little, we can be better than the US. The UK, probably better than the Asian countries from where my forefathers came .
IF WE BELIEVE WE CAN!.
Not with the attitude of .. YAY! so they upped the bandwidth a little, i'm going to go home and download a 3GB file in a day! YAAAY!! . ( I'm not pointing fingers, if i was i wouldnt be afraid of pointing names )
Have some integrity as Techies for what it's worth, i've been a tech in KE for close to 14 years now and i'll say this. We've got a long ass way to go to catch up with the rest of the world if we keep up our current attitude of yeah, someday we'll get that 15Meg link at home. Maybe my kids will get it.
My two and a half cents.

@Watchie,
None of the ISPs have given us anything close to 64K let alone 256K. I have streamed an entire soccer match on Safaricom bambanet with very little breakage.
While you were out for 10 years, we were building the networks, and the quality and reach still leaves alot to be desired of. Welcome back to Kenya, and learn to live within the constraints, trust me internet is the least of them ;-)

PS. I have an Accesskenya link at home, It cant compare to Safcom. (Sorry Raymond it's the truth)

I'm sure this is a leap forward from everyone. And i'm sure it'll satisfy a lot more people but, for those of us who've had the chance to taste speeds in other countries about ten years ago, and up to as recently as this year, it makes a difference knowing how much the local ISP's make off the consumers. I can confidently say they've made at least if not more, 2 - 3 Million from my spending between home and Work use over the past twelve years.
And i'll also say this about the infrastructure that keeps getting mentioned. SC#$W the Infrastructure.
This has nothing to do with the infrastructure.
It has everything to do with wanting to make more money. I can get in to details about how much i despise what's happening but i'd rather make a difference. So.
Can anyone get me the numbers of TEAMS or SEACOM or KDN with a direct reference point?

Access Kenya just sucks at 16kbps daytime forcing me to switch it with modem then back in the evening when it improves to 100kbps On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 5:49 PM, David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd < kianiadee@gmail.com> wrote:
@Watchie,
None of the ISPs have given us anything close to 64K let alone 256K. I have streamed an entire soccer match on Safaricom bambanet with very little breakage.
While you were out for 10 years, we were building the networks, and the quality and reach still leaves alot to be desired of. Welcome back to Kenya, and learn to live within the constraints, trust me internet is the least of them ;-)
Kiania D.
PS. I have an Accesskenya link at home, It cant compare to Safcom. (Sorry Raymond it's the truth)

@David.
I'm sure this is a leap forward from everyone. And i'm sure it'll satisfy a lot more people but, for those of us who've had the chance to taste speeds in other countries about ten years ago, and up to as recently as this year, it makes a difference knowing how much the local ISP's make off the consumers. I can confidently say they've made at least if not more, 2 - 3 Million from my spending between home and Work use over the past twelve years.
And i'll also say this about the infrastructure that keeps getting mentioned. *SC#$W *the Infrastructure.
This has nothing to do with the infrastructure.
It has everything to do with wanting to make more money. I can get in to details about how much i despise what's happening but i'd rather make a difference. So.
Can anyone get me the numbers of TEAMS or SEACOM or KDN with a direct reference point? * W.*

David, I am getting confused by these changes from Qeen Bee now! I am a regular user of the bundle that costs KES 999. Is there a speed cap on this too, or only on the unlimited bundle?? On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 17:36, David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd < kianiadee@gmail.com> wrote:

off-note on the Safaricom bandwidth, do ISP's normally explain to their clients that 1Megabit is not the same as 1MegaByte? I just drove 20 Mins to help someone confirm their link is not a 1Megabyte link as their ISP suggested. Exploiting the consumer's needs and requests?? * * *W.* On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 8:31 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

Still not impressed. I believe that they can do better. A Whole lot better. for example. I've got Access @ home now. And i'll say this. They're consistent. And stable. *BUT I'M NOT IMPRESSED! * If you're going to say... you're just being picky and nitpicking and appreciate what you've got.. I WON'T SETTLE FOR! I have an image of where this country should be by now. We're not there. And i'm picky because i sure as hell believe I was about to say *we *can't keep working with.. when i remembered, not everyone will share my opinion on list. So. I Won't keep working this way something must be done. I'll ask again. Does anyone have a direct link to contact at *KDN *and at*Seacom / TEAMS *? I intend on doing something irrational and Rash. And probably silly enough to wonder about in the future. * W.* On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 5:12 PM, Bernard Mwagiru <bmwagiru@gmail.com> wrote:

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

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.

*Does anyone here use the Orange unlimited 3G+ connection? What are the average download speeds?*
Though this may not be the exact answer to your question; it's a good indicator. I'm on 3G+ full-time. Pangani area. For the "average speeds" you'll have to do some Runge-Kutta computations; the thing fluctuates more than the NASDAQ. At times the connection pops steroids (especially overnight) while at times it lags big time. Then there's the constant auto disconnects/reconnects. I'm heavy on torrents; I manage to download >4GB on the 7 days unlimited plan each time I top up.
I can attest to the following while in Nairobi, the same never happened 1 week in Eldoret. someone else can explain that.
