Kenyan corporate scene is full of lies and deceit..and it is funny that the Kenyan consumers let them get away with it easily.
1. Orange Kenya with 3G network
The Communications Commission of Kenya on Wednesday gave Orange Kenya a licence for 3G, or third-generation network. So now it is the time when Telkom will launch 3G services in Kenya . Customers will enjoy faster internet speeds,” Telkom Kenya CEO Mickael Ghossein said. “We will provide value-added services such as mobile TV, video on demand and video conferencing.”
Great, but Orange Kenya has been advertising its 3G network for like a year now, Orange Kenya website has links to different 3G and 3G+ services…what do you call that?
Orange 3G+
???????????
2. Safaricom and Non existence Unlimited Internet
I have talked about it before here. Selling data bundles is not the same as Unlimited internet. At the same time when people subscribe on their phones for 10mb for Ksh.8 or whatever the number of Mbs for a certain amount of money, that is not unlimited internet. Safaricom keeps on advertising or sending smses about the non existing unlimited internet..how now?
3. Media Houses and their illusion of Exclusive
Social media has changed the landscape of news gathering and dissemination. Most people these days get their news first hand on different social networks. Then proceed to switch on TV or radio for confirmation. It is amazing that most media houses still think they are the first.. Coming to you exclusively on KTN or NTV or Citizen..really!! Plus why would one say “exclusive” or “we are the only ones” while video footage is showing other media houses microphones. Jeez….
I know there many more of such around , please add the ones you know on the comment section….
Insurance companies and their many promises to make your life easier and safe….until the day you need to make a claim against them, then all sorts of conditions are pulled from under the table…yes, they say you read the fine print, but its usually so complex that you can barely get to the third conditions. Very annoying people!
About Orange Kenya with 3G network … you may be misinformed or just utterly ignorant. Orange had 3G way before Safaricom…. i know now you are like… this guy doesn't know what he is talking about. Let me educate you about Orange Kenya Internet everywhere 3G+. Its a 3G (in form of EVDO technology) network in the CDMA protocol… the only in Kenya as opposed to the Safaricom's and Airtel's GSM protocol. So in a nutshell Orange does not have a GSM 3G network YET but they have CDMA 3G network (and i repeat, inform of EVDO which is far much superior than GSM 4G network). For more about the EVDO technology check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution-Data_Optim… . Ever wondered why Orange internet everywhere 3G+ is faster and more reliable than its competitors? Simple… the GSM protocol is sort of a shared network with a first come first served bandwidth allocation, while CDMA is a shared network with a dedicated bandwidth allocation…. thats what makes the speed difference. So now you know why they use 3G+ in the name.
I love scientific method of explanation instead of guesswork… so let me give u a challenge… get any bandwidth tester (online) and test the 4 internet dongles (Orange, Safaricom, YU, and Airtel).
