We were surprised by the unexpected generosity, imagining it a hoax or a mistake on Airtel’s part but it wasn’t. Airtel Uganda was also strategic to limit the data given to the Super Combo of Whatsapp, Twitter & Facebook (WTF) since this is what most people use on the daily. It should also be noted that the free data is only valid for 7 days. This could also be an apology to help people calm down after the Social Media and Mobile Money Blackout that saw Ugandans on the dark side of the Internet for a couple of days. Ugandans came out threatening to boycott Ugandan telecom providers to express their dissatisfaction at the unfortunate turn of events. That said, whatever the reason is, It’s evident that the 400Mbs has been greatly appreciated.
