UPDATE: read Safaricom Home Fibre Expands Across Kenya
I honestly didn’t know how to word that title.
Last month, I realised Safaricom are offering an interesting thing. You can enjoy unlimited Internet at your home with their Safaricom Home package.
The packages are Silver 10Mbps for 3499, Gold 20Mbps for Ksh. 4999 and Platinum 40Mbps for Ksh. 9999 per month.
Currently this is available only in certain estates in Nairobi and some few areas in Mombasa.
I read a blog by Alex Kuria (dated October 16th) on how he got the service at his home. If one is interested, they need to text Fibre to 400. They’ll call you and inquire about your location etc. I was excited when I heard about this and texted them. Only to later realise that they’ve not expanded to the rest of the country.
What’s exciting about this development, is the competition. Who will win the market?
Zuku’s home internet package still hasn’t expanded to the rest of the country. And the way they receive a lot of negative feedback online from customers on service.
Access Kenya have also ‘relaunched’ with much cheaper packages. Read more here. With this new offering from Safaricom, I feel like their “partnership” with ShowMax can be made better; much more than just Lipa na Mpesa. What are your thoughts on Safaricom Home internet?

That is good development at Safaricom. Unlimited Internet was offered at Safaricom some years back and was very popular, yet they withdrew it!
Too many Safaricom employees here
I’m now waiting for connection.
Need connection as soon as possible
I need to be connected ASAP
Will the wifi be able to support my ps4?
Yes it gives good upload and download speeds for the ps4 especially for online games,
I am in day one with Safcom Home Fibre Internet and I am a very happy user. Good speed, great customer care. They have also since you last spoke with your friend added a a Bronze package of 5mbps @ 2500 per month-it’s the package I took. No complaints here. Zuku watch out, there’s a new kid in town
Comment. is it a wifi router or cabled??
Great move by Safaricom, I will definitely go for it. Thanks for the heads up.
