The expanded 4G network coverage is the product of a Sh5bn investment Helios made when it bought into the company two years ago.
Reports in January this year showed the company’s newest customers spent more on data than phone calls.
Telkom said it was also reviewing its network architecture, a process that involves developing alternative fibre routes to provide back up during down time and the expansion of pipes to make sure the bandwidth is improving.
