Safaricom has rolled out a significant upgrade to its Home Fibre service, increasing internet speeds by up to 2.5 times across all subscription tiers while maintaining existing pricing. The enhancement immediately lifts entry-level packages to around 15 Mbps, mid-range plans to approximately 35 Mbps and 80 Mbps, and premium packages reaching up to 400 Mbps, as the telecom responds to growing demand for faster and more reliable home connectivity in Kenya.
The upgrade is expected to benefit more than 800,000 connected households nationwide, strengthening Safaricom’s position in Kenya’s fixed broadband market. The improved speeds are designed to support smoother video conferencing, uninterrupted streaming across multiple devices, and stronger performance for homes with high data consumption needs.
Brandspur Banking News Desk reports that the revised structure also affects several Home Fibre bundles, with lower-tier plans seeing notable speed boosts to enhance affordability and usability for everyday customers, while premium users gain significantly higher bandwidth for intensive digital activities. The adjustments are part of Safaricom’s broader push to improve user experience across its internet ecosystem.
Safaricom Chief Executive Officer, Peter Ndegwa, stated that high-speed internet has become a critical utility for modern households, adding that the upgrade is aimed at enabling smarter homes and supporting Kenya’s digital transformation agenda. The company says the enhanced fibre network will help future-proof homes as demand for smart devices, remote work, and digital entertainment continues to rise.
