Zuku has announced what it claims is the fastest internet speeds package in Kenya at 500Mbps.

This new package announced yesterday will be available under Zuku’s Triple Play 500 Mbps package and brings to customers a bouquet of three (3) service for one price; the fastest internet speed in Kenya 500 Mbps, Digital TV with more than 130 local and international tv packages and home telephony with the lowest calling rates of Ksh 2/= to ALL networks in Kenya.

The new 500 Mbps plan is the fastest FTTH package in the market for KES 22500. Safaricom, amongst other internet providers in the country, maxed out at 30 Mbps.

The 500 Mbps plan is significant. To this end, Zuku is running a promotion that will affect other plans. Specifically, all packages are receiving a speed boost to twice as much in a campaign named Twice the Speed X2.

The Play 10Mbps costs Ksh 2,799, Triple Play 20Mbps goes for Ksh 4,199 and Triple Play 60Mbps is Ksh 5,299. Other high-speed Triple Play packages also available are 100Mbps, 200Mbps.

Fiber to the home (FTTH) services are a welcome idea, and companies such as Zuku that entered the market many years ago have expanded their footing in that regard.

Zuku recently beat Safaricom to reclaim its top spot as the country’s largest fiber internet provider, according to the latest Sector Statistics report from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA). Zuku grew its subscription numbers from a total of 151,548 subscriptions in the last quarter to 175,433, an increase of 23,885 connections.

Safaricom on the other hand dropped to the second position in the period under review. Safaricom according to CA holds a total of 165,810 fixed broadband connections, which is an increase from the previous quarter by just 11, 207 — barely half of Zuku’s additional numbers.

Zuku has also had its share of issues regarding connections and a lax customer care experience. It is the only bad thing about the company, but it serves many customers who have no access to replacements, perhaps due to unavailability in some places.
