Orange Kenya Now Cap the Speed of its Unlimited Bundle at 256Kbps

Posted In Technology - By JosephineK On Friday, January 27th, 2012 With 6 Comments

Ding Dong! We have won the first round and it is a battle which we must keep pushing on. Orange has apparently adjusted its speed caps on unlimited bundles to 256kbps. The move has been prompted by this blog post. We still don’t find it encouraging or pleasing that Orange should cap its data speeds at 256kbps.

They are not even going to be that competitive considering that Safaricom caps at 512 kbps and Airtel does not cap there yet to be announced 3G services.

    capping at 256Kbps? does that mean that when i download a file, it would be upto 256Kbps? or does that mean i would be downloading at 32Kbps?
    and whether i am on the 7.2Mbps modem or 21.1 Mbps modem, it wont really make a difference right since they would both be capped?

    Hello Robert,

    When we launched the daily, weekly and monthly bundles we were clear in the communication that we would be closely monitoring the traffic patterns on our network and make  necessary adjustments.

    The current adjustment on FUP limits and speeds are made with this in mind and we will continue to monitor the trends.

    As you do know there are many dynamics that affect the bundling of voice and data services and these may not be as easy to define.

    We remain committed to delivery of reliable and a quality service to customers.

    regards,
