Hi people, Orange has got a weekly unlimited internet offer which
costs kshs. 990. I think it can also be a viable option since orange
also has a 3g network. Any way Orange internet offers are far much
economical compared to that of safaricom (referring to their spend
less browse more brochure). Have great week people.

Hi,
We only need one modem for the hotspot and then the other users connect to
the hotspot via the wireless connectivity.
Consequently,the other users need to put on their wireless adapters then
connect to the network that we could for instance call WikimediaKE.

I'm not a fan of Safaricom's sh2 per
minute billing system. IMHO, I find
Orange way cheaper and faster than Safaricom:
Orange charges sh. 110 for
100MB. But anyway, I guess we don't have that many users in Orange...
