About Airtel Kenya
Airtel is Kenya’s second-largest mobile network and offers data bundles on its 4G network, as well as home internet in some areas. Mobile speeds change with location and time of day.
Why mobile data speed changes
- Signal strength: indoors and in basements the signal is often weaker.
- Congestion: speeds can drop in busy places such as markets or stadiums.
- Phone settings: data saver modes can limit speed.
- Network type: check that your phone shows 4G, not 3G.
How to get an accurate result
- Pause downloads, streaming and updates on other devices first.
- For home internet, connect your computer to the router with a LAN cable, or sit close to the router.
- Run the test three times at different hours, for example morning and evening, and take the average.
- Compare the result with the speed of your package in your provider’s app or bill.
If speeds stay low, restart your phone or router and test again, then contact Airtel through the My Airtel app with your results. Also see: Safaricom speed test and Faiba speed test.
