Safaricom has announced a revamp of its 4G Wi-Fi proposition to reduce router prices and introduce new daily allocation packages for its home customers as an alternative to the fibre service. The move is aimed at enabling more Kenyans to access reliable, flexible and affordable connectivity while at home.
Under the new plan, new customers will enjoy KES 4,000 off 4G Wi-Fi routers and receive a free 30GB welcome bundle. All customers will also enjoy new daily allocation packages that empower customers who opt-in to receive data daily, guaranteeing connection throughout the month.

The daily allocation bundles offers all at a speed of 5Mbps and with a validity of 30 days are as follows:
- 105 GB (3.5GB awarded daily) for KES 2,999
- 150 GB (5GB awarded daily) for KES 4,100

“4G Wi-Fi represents a great choice for data users, giving them access to seamless, flexible, and reliable connectivity while at home.
