Mobile telephone service provider Airtel Kenya has launched a new Unlimited Home Broadband 5G Data Plans, offering customers uninterrupted data usage, and exceptional reliability on the 5G network.
Tailored to meet the diverse needs of consumers in their homes and businesses alike, these innovative plans provide a seamless experience, revolutionizing the way Kenyans connect in the digital age.
Airtel launched its 5G network mid last year, starting off with 372 sites in 16 counties across 180 Wards nationwide.
Currently it has almost doubled its 5G footprint in the country with over 690 sites covering 39 of the 47 counties across 285 wards.
Airtel Kenya Managing Director Mr Ashish Malhotra noted that the company has rolled out the unlimited home broadband plans targeting home users seeking the unmatched 5G experience.

“We are pleased to introduce Airtel Kenya’s Unlimited Plans,” said Mr Malhotra noting, “they signify our commitment to providing unmatched connectivity solutions and embody our vision for individuals and businesses empowered by seamless connectivity.”
Currently, Airtel’s network covers 89 percent of the Kenyan population.
The telco is also committed to expanding its network infrastructure, with plans to achieve 94 percent coverage by the end of 2024 while ensuring that more individuals can enjoy the benefits of reliable connectivity.
“At Airtel, we are steadfast in our dedication to supporting digital inclusion, and we are encouraged by the market’s response to our offerings.”
“Our ongoing network expansion will enable us to extend connectivity to more communities nationwide so that no one is left behind in the digital revolution,” noted Mr Malhotra.
The Unlimited plans are structured across three tiers- 10 Mbps at Sh3,500 per month, 20 Mbps at Sh5,000 monthly and 30 Mbps at Sh6,500 a month. Subscription to the plans requires an Airtel 5G router available at all Airtel shops for Sh2,999.
In addition to the unlimited data usage, the value of the Unlimited 5G Plans is further improved by an innovative, first time in the market, power backup that comes with the Airtel 5G router, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity even during power outages for as long as 5 hours.
Customers can purchase the 5G routers at any Airtel shop across the country. Alternatively, they can order one through the Airtel Kenya website (https://www.airtelkenya.com/Get-5G) or dial *400# for home delivery of the 5G router. One can purchase or renew their unlimited data plans by dialling *400# or through MyAirtel App.
For support, Airtel customers will call 400 and non-Airtel customers can reach out to the support team through 0733100400.
Airtel is on an aggressive network expansion drive, with the aim to roll out approximately close to 1000 sites before the end of the year.
This roll out is the biggest ever in Airtel Kenya’s operations with the aim of improving indoor coverage in towns and connecting rural areas.
The roll out will especially focus on enhancing and deepening Airtel’s network coverage in the North Eastern region of the country.
