Life changing?

Hello world( or at least those of you who know I exist ). I'm back again after a sort of short absence. I have had a bit of a thinking weekend (It was too damn COLD to do anything else) and I have come to the realisation that I an pretty damn lucky! And that i should stop whining about this
How many people do i know who own a 3.5g phone, a 3g modem, and a core2duo laptop with about 1500 usd in the bank?
I have decided to to adopt a whole new approach to life. You know grab life by the balls. Wish of luck. Till later them people. Viva la revolucion!

a butterfly flutters but not popote

So today, in the spirit of competition I went to check out the other offering of internet that other providers had, my targets for today.. popote wireless and KDN's butterfly . It helped that both of then are located a stones throw away from celtel HQ. where I had business today.
First of Butterfly. Whaaat! the service is a Wi-Fi hot-spot thing. ohmigosh I am so embarrased, it doesn't qualify for this blog so this is the last you will read of it in this here blog.
Next, popote, yeah the service is CDMA, but hey wont just give me setting they even insist that my new( and fully functional ) data-card won't work with It. Damn!
Any-way price-wise, their deal is not too bad 4016/- for a months unlimited surfing. not quite bad, until you realize that Celtel's deal goes for 1000/- less and they do have coveragewhere I live @. ooh did I forget to mention, they do not have network coverage in my area and nor do they have any plans of providing such.
Have they never heard of the Equity/Bamba 20 Effect? No wonder they are loosing business. any way enoght from me for the day. read me tomorrow!

Viva la Revolucion!

FlashCom?

Today I went out and bought myself a Flashcom line( nice to be rich, isn't it? ). the bloody thing cost me 200/- ( well... technically i bought 200 worth of credit and they gave me a free ruim card) but am still not exactly happy. they do have some half decent deals but you have to be a prew-paid subscriber and you do have to pay a 5000/- deposit( I know, i know it's refundable ).
Anyway I just wanted the ability to surf with as many providers as possible( 4 and counting )
so next up I am going after yello, popote wireless and kdn's butterfly and when eco-net and orang roll out later in the year, we'll be waiting...

I am now starting a blog on which of this providers providesa the best product and it starts tonight with a very simple comparison of data rates( theoretical ) and prices. to be soon followed up by real-life data rates at different times to guage the overall surfing experience.

till next time..
Viva la revolucion!

viva la Telkom

Hey hey!
Yeah, I am typing this up and posting it using my new Telkom Line. and I thought that celtel was the only shiz-nit!
Yeah I wen't out and got myself a telkom wireless desktop set with the ability to surf for only 3300/- (that's about $50 for all you dollar-heads).
The desktop set works great but is kinda costly to work on ( 3/- per min about $0.05 ) and this is kinda expensive but the nice speed does kinda help ease the pain. i was able to download ajax tutorials like nothin!
The celtel set costs me 10/- per MB (about $0.15 per MB). any-body who thinks that they arean authority on this please get back t me and let me know which one is better.
Currently I currently using both connected to computer at the same time but only using the telkom line for kinda sizeable downloads and using the celtel on for text-based surfing. as you can guess i only use safaricom and their 3Gwhen all my other options are down.

Till the next episode. goodbye and goodnight ( apparently some famous person said that, don't ask me who )
