The news has been welcomed by many Kenyans who have been demanding the kit but due to its high cost, has seen many shy of purchasing it.
A move by the satellite company to drop the one time price of the kit from Ksh 45,000 to Ksh 29,999 has also been welcomed by many who have requested for much lower prices given that they appreciate its high speeds.
It is yet to be seen whether the company will lower its monthly plans even after the introduction of Ksh 1,300 plan consisting of 50GB plan.
