“We listen to our customers to understand their changing lives and what matters most to them. The Internet has today evolved into a basic need as an essential for doing business, in addition to connecting with family and friends on social networks,” DStv sales and distribution manager, Steve Kombo said. “In this regard, it is therefore a key goal for DStv and Telkom Kenya to empower many more consumers to experience the best television entertainment on DStv and at the same time the most affordable Internet through easy and affordable access.”

After the first month, users will be required to pay respective rates to continue enjoying the services. For instance, users will pay Sh2,990 per month for Orange’s 30GB Xcell data bundles.

Telkom Kenya’s chief corporate communications officer George Mlaghui said the partnership was a way of giving users innovative and accessible communications solutions for every day communication needs.

“This Wi-Fi router, the Domino, is a high speed plug and play data product that supports up to 15 users,” Mr Mlaghui said.

“The free 30 GB Internet bundle goes to show that we have the customer at heart and want to give them the opportunity of trying out our data offering and making an informed long-term choice of Internet service provider, as a result of their experience on our network.”
