Data usage in Kenya is evidently growing at a steady rate, we’ve seen service providers overhaul their systems to meet this demand. As of now, you’ll hardly miss a fibre connection on most modern residential apartments; however, mobile phones remain the most used devices for data. After years of waiting, Airtel Kenya subscribers now can enjoy real 3G internet connection speeds at very affordable rates. 3G segment has long been only Safaricom’s area- Kenya’s biggest mobile service provider by number of subscribers. Even though 3G is accessible to most phone users in the country, cost has remained a thorn for majority; currently, Yu mobile has the cheapest rates but makes little difference on their 2G network. And again let’s face it, there’s never unlimited internet on Safaricom and Orange network; connection speeds are usually throttled after you’ve reached a certain limit, commonly called “fair usage policy”, so they’re never unlimited after all.
