[kictanet] Talk-2-Safaricom: Days 1 of 6 (Monday 6th Feb) - Consumer Issues

Wed Jun 13 08:11:42 EAT 2018

Just a quick feedback on county no 23:

Lodwar: 4G works. (surprisingly well)

Lorungum: about 45 clicks due west on your way to UG: 3G works. In between, spotty cell reception.

Katilu, almost a hundred clicks due south of Lodwar has zero network. patchy Edge signal.

Otherwise all good up here.

Regards,

Collins Areba,
Kilifi, Kenya.

I am happy to report that Safaricom went beyond my expectations and we actually have a 3 G signal. I am able to work comfortably from the location. Thanks Steve Chege and the team of engineers that you dispatched. Mnaweza kabisa. Please consider other areas in mashinani as well.
