their service is affected a lot by electricity supply. If you live in one of the areas recently affected by the flooding outage then you may have been heavily affected.
They suffer cable cuts a lot due to all the roadworks and other infrastructure that is going on.

Hi all
Can anyone at Zuku who is on this list please let us know what is going on?
I have had literally zero connectivity from them now for almost two weeks at home. Complaints through their customer service line, Twitter etc have not helped. All I get is a mechanical customer service rep telling me 'Service will be restored in due course and we are sorry for the service interruption!'
Needless to say I have already 'vukad' to Safaricom's 'TheBigBox', however I still have a full month of service from Zuku. In the interest of trying to 'help' them I thought I'd pen this here because this kind of service is just unacceptable in this day and age.
I hope someone is listening at Zuku.

I think this also bears testament to capacity for customer service. Usual channels, mass market are bureaucratic and take time. when you are able to reach someone who can cut through the bureaucracy then things move... I moved houses in December and had to fill out a moving form. We did the back and forth dance with zuku technicians until I got tired and wrote a long Email. Annoyingly, I had three crews at my house in under 15 minutes. But I did get sorted. On Wed, May 20, 2015 at 9:17 AM, GG via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

And I know there is a serious attempt at Kenya Power to improve service, including an audit of not just services but a whole lot of other things by PWC. On Wed, May 20, 2015 at 9:47 AM, Peter Wakaba <peterwakaba@gmail.com> wrote:

Peter You are quite right! :-) I got the same treatment. Just an observation for Zuku and other players to look into - Multi-Channel Communications need to be synchronised or in the haste of trying to satisfy a customer you get 3-4 people from the same company getting in touch with you. A+ for enthusiasm but not so much for coordination...:-) *Ali Hussein* *Hussein & Associates* Tel: +254 770 906375/ 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> Blog: www.alyhussein.com Any information of a personal nature expressed in this email are purely mine and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the organizations that I work with.
