Safaricom permanently doubles fibre Internet speeds; here are the prices Shares Safaricom has made permanent the double internet speeds announced in March last year, as a move to encourage people to work remotely. For the same prices, users will now enjoy double internet speeds, which comes to full effect on March 1st 2021. At the end of 2019, Safaricom beat Zuku for the first time in the number of fixed connections across the country. In March of 2020, Zuku reclaimed the top spot, but that would later on shift back to Safaricom as more people stayed home with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
