    Roke Telkom Roke at work package

    Roke Telkom stormed the internet business in Uganda in 2015 with a rather different business model by installing wireless access points(APs) in designated places where users would buy vouchers to gain access to the internet. The model registered for them more praise and they further went ahead to optimize their packages to suit the business community with Roke at work data package. The package is divided into two categories; Roke Mega Plus installation fee of UGX500,000 for the internet access.

    ROKE Mega Plus This is the cheaper bundle in the Roke at work package which goes for UGX650,000 a month for 300GB at speeds of 5mbps before bundle exhaustion and 1mbps after the data is depleted. They have a peak(7 am to 7 pm) and off-peak(7 pm to 7 am) hours to help optimize the usage of data and let customers enjoy. During the off-peak hours, customers enjoy free internet and all weekend long.


    ROKE Enterprise This is our giant offering for those who require robust Internet connectivity and rely heavily on the Internet for their day-to-day business. This package guarantees the highest level of service over our strong fiber network. It is delivered over a wireless or fiber connection, depending on your location.

    Africell Dedicated Internet

    The self proclaimed kings of the bundles aren’t sleeping when it comes to this part of the business with their dedicated internet packages for businesses. With this offer, you will also be given dedicated bandwidth and connectivity options via Optical Fiber Cable (OFC) or high-grade microwave links using a dedicated data line that connects your office/workplace to the Africell network.

    Dedicated internet connectivity to your office will be either through an Optical Fiber Cable or high grade microwave links. In addition to the business internet, you will have;

    • 1. Dedicated Bandwidth
    • 2. symmetrical flows 1:1 on download and upload
    • 3. Up to 6 additional public IPs on request
    • 4. 24/7 dedicated support on

    The cost of the dedicated internet depends on your location, amount of bandwidth(MBS) you require and the number of users.  We were not able to get an exact figure at the time of writing this article from the support team but I feel Africell deserve a spot here with all the cheap data bundle package out here for individual users.

    Smile Unlimited Internet Packages

    Smile Internet has been darlings to many companies in past recent years. From their area of coverage to relatively good bandwidth 4G speed, they managed to win many people to their camp. One of the reasons for their success is the cost of their devices, most of their routers are way cheaper than market price.
