However, fixed unlimited home internet is still scarcely available to many Kenyans and data bundles has almost become a basic need to communicate and access content on the internet.

Whether its for kids to access educational materials or just want to watch some videos on YouTube, in places where there’s no access to unlimited internet, purchasing data bundles dedicated to YouTube consumption could be cost effective than just buying data for general use.
