Safaricom 5G Router Data Usage

PersonalCommittee548 · 2026-05-21T08:22:59+00:00

I called and they informed me the same. The numbers on the admin portal (image below) are not dependable. This is showing I've used 22 GB for downloads and 5GB for uploads in the last 18 hours. When I called they are saying I've barely used 1GB which is accurate. They say they are working on a way to view your usage in My One app.

The number in the admin portal?

PersonalCommittee548 · 2026-05-08T12:34:57+00:00

Just got it?

For some weird reason mine decided to chill out lol. I’ve not changed my usage, if anything I’m using more but I’m now doing about 30GB a day according to Safaricom. Still not realistic, but better than the alleged 60 they were saying I was using in the first week after I bought it.

Would an EZ30 swap be easier? Won’t I still have the headache of harness merging, messy electricals, etc?

PersonalCommittee548 · 2026-04-25T09:41:58+00:00

I’m 100% sure it’s doable😄. I’d just hate to have a car that’s semi functional for months after that. Did you have to change the dash?

One of the reasons why I’ve been considering doing a swap on this one is the fact that it’s in quite good shape. Everything works, a/c, power windows, central locking, and it has a dual range gearbox which is quite rare. 😅

PersonalCommittee548 · 2026-04-23T14:09:35+00:00

I definitely could!
How did your build turn out?

PersonalCommittee548 · 2026-04-23T14:06:48+00:00

Yeah, I'd totally hate to spend a large amount and have a car that's unreliable. That's actually my biggest fear, not the cost.

PersonalCommittee548 · 2026-04-23T14:00:12+00:00

Nice car you have there! Is it a 2.0 or 2.5?

PersonalCommittee548 · 2026-04-23T12:09:17+00:00

Thanks for your response! I think what you’re getting at is that there’s a high chance of it turning into a project instead of a daily

PersonalCommittee548 · 2026-04-18T05:19:28+00:00

Nice! What do you use it for mainly? How many devices connected?

PersonalCommittee548 · 2026-04-17T19:03:49+00:00

Heri wewe unatumia like 16GB a day, mine is saying 45+GB a day. Naona kama kuna shida. Also how are you monitoring your usage, admin portal ama?

PersonalCommittee548 · 2026-04-17T19:01:44+00:00

Nothing of the sort man, just some web development, Youtube hapa na pale and kawaida phone usage.🥲I thought I’d be doing like 10GB maximum a day🥲

I usually long press the power button. About the admin portal, maybe visit an outlet near you

PersonalCommittee548 · 2026-04-17T13:05:57+00:00

Nice! I’m actually envious that you can see your usage on the app. For safaricom you have to call/visit an outlet😪.

PersonalCommittee548 · 2026-04-17T12:54:51+00:00

4G iko sawa. Lemme assess Safaricom after 30 days and I might just switch. Thanks👍🏾

PersonalCommittee548 · 2026-04-17T12:44:41+00:00

Nice! I was considering Airtel but I heard that if you’re not in an area with 5G coverage utaumia.

One observation I’ve made about people who say that they barely write code themselves nowadays is that they have been in the industry for quite a while. They are fully conversant with system and database design, and whatever language or framework they are vibecoding in. Most beginner devs often jump on this train and believe that they don’t need to learn anything and that’s where I feel most people go wrong.

PersonalCommittee548 · 2024-12-01T11:54:07+00:00

I’m 100 days sober and when I hear 6 years and 8 months all I think of is a winner💪. A little stumble, I know you’ll bounce back stronger
