Safaricom slashes prices to counter Starlink. 40 Mbps package now $38.61, down from $50.19.
In response to Starlink’s aggressive pricing strategy, Safaricom has reduced its internet prices, offering a 40 Mbps package for $38.61, a significant drop from the previous $50.19. This move follows Starlink’s introduction of a rental option for its hardware at $15 per month, with data plans starting at $10 for 50GB. As competition intensifies, Safaricom has urged the government to regulate satellite internet providers and suggests that they should partner with local operators before obtaining licenses.
