Airtel Kenya has significantly upgraded its Premier postpaid plans, quietly offering subscribers substantially more data and minutes without an official announcement. These enhancements aim to sweeten the deal for high-value customers by boosting allowances across various price tiers.

• The primary existing price tiers (KES 1,499, KES 1,999, and KES 2,999) have seen dramatic increases in allowances.
• An entirely new entry-level plan at KES 499 has been introduced, while the KES 999 and KES 4,999 options have been dropped.
• The allocated minutes are now explicitly split equally between on-net and all-net calls.
• Subscription and termination still require an in-store visit to an Airtel center nationwide.

Safaricom Home Fibre has significantly revised its Fair Usage Policy (FUP), drastically increasing data limits and post-FUP speeds across all plans. This update, reflected on their official FAQ page, aims to provide a near-"unlimited" experience for most users.

• All Home Fibre packages now share a uniform FUP limit of 15TB, a major increase from previous caps ranging from 500GB to 1TB.
• Post-FUP speeds have been substantially improved, with the Diamond plan now retaining 50Mbps (up from 3Mbps) and the Platinum plan specifying a 100Mbps post-FUP speed.
• The changes were quietly rolled out last month, reinforcing Safaricom's position in the home internet market amidst growing competition.
