Telkom Kenya has been aggressively pushing its data products and I thought it is a good idea to list down the Telkom Kenya data bundles and their validity period for those who may be interested. Telkom Kenya has 4G coverage in certain parts of this country and it’s a serious competitor to Safaricom in the data department. For a very long time, Safaricom had better speeds and coverage given that its main competitor, Airtel, had not rolled out 4G in Kenya.
Telkom Kenya data bundles are meant to be affordable compared to Safaricom as the company sees this as the best strategy to compete. This is all good for the users as competition will always bring prices down or even lead to the introduction of products that were not there before. Even though this is the case, the biggest issue that has been raised is network coverage. Safaricom has quite a big presence in Kenya when you look at 4G coverage. Telkom Kenya introduced 4G to its users not so log ago and right now it is not available in all corners of this world. Safaricom may use this to show customers that it has the better product.
Telkom Kenya knows that data is an important aspect these days and that is why the company made sure it had 4G in Kenya before Airtel. Airtel Kenya only upgraded its network a week ago and this means that Telkom was the second network provider in Kenya to roll out 4G.
Below are Telkom Kenya data bundle rates and validity.

As you can se above, Telkom Kenya is quite affordable. The question is, is this enough to get people to its network? And how is coverage across the country? These are the things that will determine its success or failure.
