Yumobile today launched a 2 bob per hour offer. Yu dubbed the offer “Happy hour” where users will use internet all day all night for Kshs. 2 per hour on a per hour billing cycle. This means that if you surf for 1 and a half hour you will pay 4 bob. Yu says there are no subscription charges for this offer and all you have to to do is dial *242# and select the subscribe option to activate it.
We have previously seen reduced rates for services coming from the mobile service provider yu. Previously the reductions were on the voice side and have gone to reduce their data offerings. Yu data is very well priced with the mobile data going for 2bob, modem data going for less than a shilling for bundle purchases and off bundle prices of 3 bob per mb. This is the lowest by any Kenyan standards, but I beg to ask the question, what are the guaranteed speeds?
We asked the same of Safaricom data offers that werent taking of the speeds on their unlimited bundles and they responded with upping their current offers. Could somebody at Yu tell us what comes with these great prices. Is there data connection consistency, are there speeds that look sensible for this day and age?
