About us
A short page, because there isn't much to dress up. We're an internet provider in Busia and we try to do the basics well.
Asatel Technologies is based at Benna House in Busia town, on the third floor, next to the County Assembly. From here we run a fixed-wireless network that connects homes, shops, offices and schools across Busia County and over towards the Ugandan side of the border, in town and in the villages.
The idea from the start was simple: people out here were paying a lot for mobile bundles that ran out, or for connections from companies nobody could get on the phone. We thought an unlimited connection at a fair price, installed properly by people who live nearby, would do better. So far that has been right.
A few things we've stuck to:
- Every package is unlimited. No data caps, no fair-usage small print.
- You test the connection before you pay for the installation.
- The support number is answered in Busia by the people who run the network.
- Prices are the same for everyone and they're on the website.
What we do
Home internet
Unlimited connections for houses and flats, from Ksh 2,000 a month. Mostly fixed wireless (a small radio on the roof pointing at our mast), fibre or LTE where that works better. Packages and prices.
Business internet
Shared plans with a low contention ratio for shops, offices, clinics and schools, from Ksh 2,500 a month. Priority support and a VoIP phone line come with every plan. Business plans.
Dedicated links
Bandwidth that isn't shared with anyone, up to 1 Gbps, priced per Mbps and built for the specific site. Price one.
VoIP phone lines
A phone line that runs over your internet connection. Included with business plans, with an hour of free talk time a month. Ask sales if you need more lines or more minutes.
Installation and support
Free survey, installation by our own technicians, and a support line that rings in Busia. You pay for installation only after you've tested the connection. Help Center for existing customers.
The team
This is who you'll be dealing with. Small team, everyone does a bit of everything, and the people who install your connection are the ones who'll fix it if it ever needs fixing.
