Kenyans subscribed to Elon Musk’s Starlink internet service are experiencing the second-slowest speeds in Africa following a surge in demand that has strained the capacity of the satellite operator.
Starlink download speeds in Kenya fell to an average of 47 megabits per second (Mbps) in the quarter ended March, down from highs of over 200 Mbps when the firm entered the country in July 2023, according to Ookla--one of the leading internet speed test sites.
