When Starlink is offering a 50gb monthly bundle for 1300/-, albeit on promotional basis, Safaricom is busy selling their mobile data bundles at even more insanely exorbitant prices! They even scrapped the 2gb data bundle that they used to sell at 100/-.! The same 100/- is still buying a daily 2 gb on Airtel, plus a bonus 500mb if you use airtel money. But, with their daily 4gb at 100/-, it is Telkom who are champions of affordable mobile data, just that their signals are always down.
But, now, here is the kicker!
Labda Safaricom wa embrace this technology mapema kuliko wengine, like they always do with their bottomless pockets! Because if this time Airtel Kenya gets it before them…
Kenyans love whining a lot.The very moment you will ever step your foot out of Kenya,you will broaden your mind.You will realise and appreciate how cheap internet is in Kenya among many other things I see Kenyans wailing about every other day.
Well 50GB monthly bado ni kiasi Sana that’s less than 2GB daily. For all the hype mbona wasieke iwe unlimited?
Airtel iko na bundle ya 3GB daily for 2k monthly na you are not tethered to a location kama starlink or fibre… safaricom is the worst
What yikes me most with safaricon is their limited time. So you want me to sit down for 1hr to use the internet…i want to be online all day even if am not downloading or watching anything. We are not all zombies sitting in a corner somewhere for 2hrs watching tiktok
$50-70$ a month for home WiFi
$50-$110 for a phone plan (family, individual etc)
$100-$150 for cable tv
$50-$100 for streaming services (Netflix, hbo, prime or whatever the fuck they watch)
Vodafone owns safaricom so when the market conditions allow it they will bring the capabilities. By own I mean they own all Class A shares while government was given 60% of classB shares
