So leo naamka to painfully slow internet. Inakataa ku-load hata YouTube. I decide to run a speed test, only to find out we're getting somewhere around 1Mbps, yet nimelipia 15Mbps.
I call Safaricom Customer Care, and after 20 minutes za kuskiza advertisements zao, someone finally picks up. Their explanation? Nimetumia 1 TERABYTE (1000GB) and apparently I've hit my FUP.
Now, here's where things get interesting. I paid for this Wi-Fi just 10 DAYS AGO. So I'm sitting there wondering, how TF are we using 1000GB in ten days? Nothing has changed. Same devices, same usage patterns, mostly using the internet at night.
And this has literally NEVER happened before. Our usage has always been pretty much the same. TikTok, YouTube, and streaming movies once in a while. Nothing out of the ordinary.
I've also tried checking the data usage statistics on the devices connected to the Wi-Fi, just in case there's some rogue app or device eating up data in the background. But even when I add up the usage across the devices, the numbers don't come anywhere close to 1000GB.
Na nililipa mwezi ikianza, so imagine paying for a whole month only for your internet to become practically unusable after ten days.
And to make matters worse, their routers are locked down. You can't even log in and check the usage statistics yourself. You're basically left at their mercy, and they can pull up whatever numbers they want without giving you any way to independently verify them.
At this point, the slow internet is almost more frustrating than having no internet at all. 😭
Ata wakujie hii router yao, siwataki tena. 😂 Because honestly, what's stopping me from paying again only for the same thing to happen ten days later?
Anyway, which ISPs would you guys recommend? What are you currently using, how reliable are they, and how's the speed? I'm ready to jump ship.
Without VAR errors, Liverpool would be sitting 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙙 in the Premier League, only 4⃣ points behind Arsenal 😳📈
The Key Match Incidents Panel has ruled that a penalty should have been awarded for Timber's pull on Isak 👨⚖️
I’m honored to join the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) to explore opportunities for economic growth through Kenya’s creative industries.
Damn, malls on every corner, and they’re replacing Nairobi’s cultural and creative spaces like Pallets Café on James Gichuru. They all have the same lineup: Optica, ChapaCopy, Carrefour Market, Whiskey Hub. How many Opticas does one city need? What are we not seeing
