Safaricom has avoided a price war with billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink and instead raised its home fibre internet speeds by up to five times in efforts to protect revenues and guard its customer base.
For the same prices, Safaricom home fibre customers will now access 15 megabytes per second (mbps) up from ten at Sh2,999; 30mbps up from 20; 80mbps, doubling from 40; and 500mbps, up from 100mbps.
