Questions ISPs ask

What is Connecta?

Connecta is billing and management software for internet service providers in Kenya. It runs Wi-Fi hotspots and PPPoE home internet on MikroTik routers, takes M-Pesa payments, and switches customers on and off automatically.

How much does Connecta cost?

You choose: pay as you grow from KES 300 a month (KES 15 per PPPoE user, less as you grow, plus 2 % of hotspot sales), a fixed plan from KES 499 a month, or a hybrid from KES 500 a month. There is no setup fee.

Which routers does it support?

MikroTik routers on RouterOS version 6 or 7, from small boards such as the RB750 and hAP to CCR routers.

How do I connect my router?

After your sign-up is approved you receive one line by e-mail. Paste it into your MikroTik terminal (Winbox or SSH). It sets up the VPN, RADIUS, hotspot and PPPoE, and the router shows online within a minute.

Do customers pay with M-Pesa?

Yes. Customers pay with an M-Pesa prompt on their phone, or with Paybill or Till. Connecta confirms the payment and connects them automatically. You can use your own Paybill or Till.

Can I set speed limits?

Yes. Every package has its own speed, for example 2, 4 or 5 Mbps, and you can set a different limit for a single customer or device.

Is my data safe?

Sign-in uses two-factor authentication, secrets are encrypted, every router connects over its own VPN, and backups are encrypted and copied off-site every day.
