Home internet.

Help a fellow peasant. He has been using Faiba MiFi, mostly the 1k monthly bouquet at his home in South B but has of late been saying that his family is depleting the 1k very fast. I am suspecting that they’re watching a lot of yutube…

He is looking for other providers, enquiring about Zuku and Safcom but I do not know much about them.

Kindly suggest to him a provider that will suit their needs.

Asandeni.

Zuku.co.ke

For saf call 400

Weekly 15 GB bundle is way better for heavy users than monthly 25 GB. I remember I used to consume around 200GB per month on bundles; 25 monthly would have cost me 8k, but weekly bundle was around 6500 bob. If you buy more than twice a month, switch to weekly bundles. If your premises or area has fibre, get a connection already; kama you’re complaining about 25GB being depleted fast in a month then it’s highly probable the lowest fibre subscription will be more than enough.

Edit: To answer your question directly, Zuku is cheaper for you. I don’t even think in your use case you will notice any downtimes :D.

Either way both will shaft that peasant bloody, Zuku has awesome service when joining once onboard utajipanga, Saf has a shared connection na since mko wengi iyo net itakuwa painfully slow. Itabidi uchague one poison and ride it. I could suggest JTL but iyo ni 5k cheapest option.

Thank you for that @MISCHIEF

Actually it’s not me @ilonMask but a friend, I am taking notes though. Sande sana.

Alright @Ule Mlanje, cool. After he joins Zuku, what are the downsides as you says kuwa atajipanga?

Nayo Saf, when shared, will it be as slow as he says Faiba has been getting? Thanks.

Mtu anaeza soma python na zuku deals za 1k a month?

Your network will be just fine as long as traffic is low. You should know that all FTTH in Kenya is shared; sharing is done in two ways:-split ratio and contention ratio. Safaricom splits each fibre from OLT 64 times, but also all customer must contend the bandwidth at a ratio of 1:4. JTL also uses splitters but I don’t know its contention ratio. Basically, you will never have P2P fibre in Kenya unless you are very big company.

I’m not a programmer but ata with just bundles you can teach yourself Python, whether you use its default platform or kina Anaconda and YouTube videos, total bandwidth usage is not that much.

Alright @ilonMask, with the knowledge that you have concerning both without due influence, between Saf na Zuk, which one would you advise him to take?

It depends :D. Unless I live in South B I can’t give you a conclusive answer TBH. If both ISPs have high number of customers huko, downtimes are inevitable. I’d first start with the cheaper one and transition to the other if things go south. There’s nothing to lose. But if he/she starts with Safcom (there’s also installation costs nowadays), return on investment is 50/50.

Thank you for that information @ilonMask, I will notify them of the same then e will months later hear what their experience will be.
Thank you again.
