Liquid Telecom Offers Unlimited High Capacity Broadband Across East Africa 

–Jenna Delport | IT News Africa 

Liquid Telecom has announced that it will be supporting its Hai home fibre customers (Hai powered by Liquid Telecom) with unlimited high capacity broadband – this comes at a time where more people are forced to work and learn from home or remotely in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The network provider is offering this free upgrade to current home fibre users at zero extra cost, meeting the growing demand for fast and reliable internet for video conferencing, e-learning, gaming, watching movies and staying connected with friends and family.

The offer will be reviewed from time to time to help ensure Liquid Telecom customers have fast and reliable internet during the pandemic.

“Staying connected to the people and things our customers love matters most right now. So with immediate effect, we’ve doubled capacity with unlimited internet for all our current home fibre users,” says Adil Youssefi, CEO of East Africa at Liquid Telecom.

“As more people are forced to work and learn from home as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s important to know our network can withstand any increased usage, including peaks throughout the day, in the evenings and at weekends. As usage rises, our existing capacity will be able to take it – but we’ll have a close eye on things and make changes if we need to – reflecting our commitment to keeping all of our customers connected.”

In 2019, Liquid Telecom upgraded the fibre network route from Nairobi to Mombasa offering speeds of up to 9.4 Terabits per second and an implemented capacity of 1.2Tbps for wholesale and enterprise customers. The increased capacity and on-demand bandwidth should support the needs of both the private and public sector by meeting the growing demand for high-speed broadband.
