August and September are here, and for many, that means it's time to pay those pesky subscription bills. But for those looking for a reliable fixed home internet solution, Safaricom has some good news.
As of August 5, 2019, Safaricom has launched a promotion that offers new customers a 50% discount on its Home Fibre service for up to two months.
According to a statement from the company, new customers who sign up for the service by dialing 400# and choosing 'Get Safaricom Home Fibre' will automatically qualify for the offer. The Bronze package will entitle customers to a one-month half-price offer, while those on the Silver, Gold, and Diamond packages will enjoy two months at 50% off pricing.
The promotion is part of Safaricom's efforts to expand its Home Fibre network and reach more customers. The company aims to reach 15,000 more homes, adding to the 300,000 it already serves across the country.
With this promotion, Safaricom is hoping to catch up with its closest competitor, Wananchi Group (Zuku), which has a 35.5% share of the fixed broadband subscriptions in the country, according to statistics from the Communications Authority of Kenya as of March 2019.
