Safaricom (NSE: SCOM) has unveiled a new campaign to grow home internet uptake by showcasing the available fixed internet solutions as well as value adds that enhance the home experience.

As part of the  ‘Feels good to be Home’ campaign, Safaricom has unveiled revamped Family Share plans that combine home fibre with mobile voice, data and SMS in one package, enabling customers to enjoy seamless connectivity at home and on the go.

An additional Ksh1,800 gives 17GB, 1,000 minutes plus 2,000 SMS, while an additional Ksh2,700 gives 27GB, 1,500 minutes and 3,000 SMS. All Family Share plans come with free WhatsApp and can be shared with up to 5 household members.

“We began our Home Internet journey in response to demand from our customers for fast and reliable connectivity at home. With increasingly digital lifestyles, our latest offerings seek to leverage our network coverage to cater to our customers’ evolving needs both in and out of the home,” said Mr Peter Ndegwa, CEO, Safaricom PLC.
