Faiba4G pathetic upload experience

Who else has experienced issues while uploading stuff online using Faiba4G?

Jana nilikuwa nakimbiza kitunguu iive, so after finishing the work, compressed the files into a tarball, and compressed the tarball a second time to bz2 format. This reduced the payload from 60Mb to 20Mb.
I started uploading the archive, it only managed to reach 20% and the upload failed, and then my interent was cut off! Believe you me, Faiba4G net ilienda off hivyo tu. I restarted the Faiba mifi chieth, restarted the upload and same thing happened. I wasted a whole hour trying to upload a measly 20mb.

Switched to my Safaricom 3G line and uploaded the thing in under 30sec.

Ferk Faiba.

whats your current bandwidth bro

Maybe its where you are…personally I don’t upload any large files but I haven’t had any problem with the net.

Faiba has some challenges they need to overcome sooner rather than later.
One being what you just stated and two being their pathetic customer care.

looks like the migration to the network is bigger than their infrastructure can handle …nimeona watu wakicomplain downtimes of late

Experienced the same issue this morning.
I was uploading a 25MB video clip on telegram. The thing took over 30 mins.

Nimetoa iyo simcard yao I can’t have headaches kila saa

Safisha sisi macho na hii video pia

Upload speed huwa kama 5% of download speed … utaumia … fanya test uone ni ngapi http://www.speedtest.net

Downlink speeds are okay, I stream and download without issues. But uploading, oh my!

wewe unasumbuliwa na nini

Faiba itabidi they go back to the drawing board waangalie some issues one of them being the restricting band 28 (700mhz) na customer care that is if they want to survive in data business for the long term. If wangeweka just half the effort wanaweka kwa advertising towards service improvement, nko sure ata safcon haingewaona in terms of customer base…anyway mimi hyo meffi yao nliacha kuitumia like 3 months ago due to the issues raised hapo juu na @Okwonkwo not forgetting the crappy battery

Naona nikikunja mkia nianze kununua bundles za suffericon tena, and use Faiba strictly for downloading and streaming only.

Me nlikunja mkia kitaaambo :smiley: after kuona nmebuy bundles za meffi za thao but still hazinisaidii juu bado natumia tu suffericon if at all nataka kufanya anything meaningful kwa net

hio ni job gani inatumia tarball na ma bz2?
ama ni wewe ndio unatengeneza Ubuntu 18?

Hiyo compression ya bz2 sijawai tumia.

:D:D:D:D

compresses much better to a smaller payload.

Most mass-market packages have very small upload provisioning.

Wacha niitafute online.
