I've been able to do a 200MB system update easy. I haven’t tried really big downloads yet (p2p) but they say on their site that there are no download limits.

So if I load up the 200/- 12hr access code, I have access for the next 12hrs only... Hey Bernard,

Once you enter the scratch card(they’re not really safcom/celtel like scratchcards but plain old print outs with access codes) details there is no way to logout. So if I load up the 200/- 12hr access code, I have access for the next 12hrs only…

When you get to the login page after connecting to a hotspot and enter the scratch card or ISP account details, does KDN charge you according to the duration of connectivity or data traffic? Safaricom charge 12/- per Mb. And as soon as you connect to the hotspot, the AP automatically redirects to a login page and as soon as you enter some credentials, you are automatically directed to the internet! Is there a logout button that signals butterfly to disconnect you and hence stop charging? So my view of how this works is as so: WiFi client ------->AP------>ScratchcardDB------>validation------>if Ok----->direct to google----->start charging account I’m interested in finding out how Butterfly works as far as charging is concerned.
