About Safaricom internet
Safaricom is Kenya’s largest mobile network. It sells home internet through Safaricom Home Fibre and offers mobile data on 4G, with 5G in parts of major towns. Packages differ in speed, so compare your result with the Mbps of your own package.
What your result means
| Measure | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Download | How fast data reaches you. This matters most for streaming and browsing. |
| Upload | How fast you send data. This matters for video calls and uploading files. |
| Ping | Response time in milliseconds. Lower is better for games and calls. |
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.
Testing Safaricom mobile data
To test bundles instead of WiFi, turn off WiFi on your phone first. Each test uses some data, so avoid repeating it many times on a small bundle.
If your speed stays low, restart the router or phone and test again, then contact Safaricom customer care (100) or use the My Safaricom app with your results. Also see: Airtel speed test and ping test.
