Faiba Home Internet has cheaper entry-level plans starting at KES 3,000 for 35Mbps

When we last covered Faiba Home Plus plans in Kenya a year ago, the cheapest option on offer was the 90Mbps plan at KES 5,000 per month. That has since changed.

Soon after our article, Faiba quietly added two new lower-tier plans to its Home Plus lineup. The entry-level Starter plan starts at KES 3,000 per month for 35Mbps, while the second tier Standard plan costs KES 4,000 per month for 60Mbps.

That makes Faiba’s home internet offering a little more approachable, which is exactly the kind of shift we have been seeing across Kenya’s fixed internet market. Providers have been adjusting their bundles in two directions at once: lowering the price barrier for new users and, in some cases, making the cheaper tiers more attractive by offering better speeds.

Internationally, Starlink has also been moving in a similar direction. Its recent entry-level 100Mbps residential plan is another sign that the home internet race is no longer just about speed at the top end. Price now matters more than ever, especially for households that want reliable internet without paying premium rates every month.

For Faiba users, the good news is that nothing else in the Home Plus lineup appears to have changed. The higher-tier plans, including the 300Mbps and 1Gbps options that were introduced earlier, are still part of the package. The only update is the addition of the two cheaper plans at the bottom end.

That is an important change. Previously, anyone looking at Faiba Home Plus had to start from the relatively expensive KES 5,000 plan. Now, users have more flexibility, and that should make the service more attractive to a wider range of households.

It’s been a year since Faiba made the change, and honestly, if you’re finding out now, it hardly matters. What matters is that the company finally opened the door to cheaper home internet options. In a market where every shilling counts, that is a move many users will welcome.

For now, Faiba Home Plus looks a little more competitive, a little more flexible, and a lot more relevant to the realities of the Kenyan market.
