Safaricom has upgraded its entry-level 5G Home Internet plan, increasing speeds and data limits without a price hike in response to user feedback.

• The base plan now offers 15Mbps (up from 10Mbps) and a 450GB Fair Usage Policy (FUP) (up from 250GB) for KES 3,000 per month.
• This adjustment makes the plan more suitable for moderate home internet usage, covering activities like HD streaming, online gaming, and remote work.
• The update positions Safaricom to better compete, though a gap still exists for a mid-range option around KES 2,000 to rival Airtel's 15Mbps 5G Home plan.

Safaricom has partnered with Naivas Supermarket to make its 5G Home Internet devices widely available across all Naivas outlets in Kenya, coinciding with both companies' anniversaries.

• Customers can now purchase Safaricom’s 4G and 5G routers for KES 2,999 at any Naivas store.
• Fawzia Ali, Chief Consumer Business Officer at Safaricom, highlighted the partnership as a significant step in expanding access to high-speed internet.
• This collaboration follows a successful rollout with Quickmart earlier this year and Safaricom has also upgraded its Home Fibre entry-level plan to 15Mbps at no extra cost.
