Installation

Fibre installation, normally within 48 hours

Every home plan includes free fibre installation. Here is exactly what happens between your first message and your first speed test.

Step by step

From first message to first speed test

  1. Address check

    Send us your town and neighbourhood, or use the coverage checker. We confirm that the fibre closure nearest your building can reach you. This usually takes less than a day.

  2. Choose a plan and pay

    Pick a home plan from KSh 1,499 a month. Pay the first month by M-PESA Pay Bill 4078033 with the account number we send you.

  3. Installation visit

    A technician runs the fibre drop from the closure to your house or flat, mounts the fibre terminal and tests the line. Most visits take one to two hours.

  4. WiFi set-up

    We configure the router, set your WiFi name and password and test speeds on your devices before leaving.

What it costs

Installation cost and what is included

  • Home plans from Chui upwards: fibre drop, fibre terminal, router and set-up are all included at no charge.
  • Sungura 10 Mbps: installation is free when you provide a compatible router. Our router guide explains what to look for.
  • Business plans: an installation fee may apply depending on the package, premises and distance from the fibre. It is quoted and agreed before any work starts.
  • Long drops: if your house is far from the nearest closure and needs an extra pole, we tell you before the visit.

Before the visit

What you need ready

  • Someone over 18 at home during the visit, normally a two-hour window we agree with you.
  • Permission from the landlord or estate management if the cable needs to cross a shared wall or compound.
  • A power socket near where you want the router. The middle of the house gives the best WiFi.
  • Your M-PESA payment confirmation for the first month.
