Getting Safaricom Home Fibre: How to Apply and What to Expect
Quick answer

Safaricom's published route is to SMS the word 'Fibre' to 400 and wait for a call from the team, who check coverage and arrange installation. Reported installation fees and plan speeds have changed over time, so confirm the price, speed and any discounts before agreeing. Ask where the router will be placed and whether you can add your own mesh or access points.
