Tabasamu Fibre: Lighting Up Kenya’s Internet
Tabasamu Fibre Networks LTD has emerged as a key player in Kenya’s broadband market, offering high-speed fibre-optic internet to homes and businesses. The company prides itself on leveraging state-of-the-art infrastructure to minimise downtime and deliver consistent speeds, even during peak hours.
Kenya’s internet penetration reached 46% in 2023 (Communications Authority of Kenya), with fibre-optic connections growing at 22% annually. Tabasamu Fibre’s expansion into underserved areas, such as Kisumu and Mombasa, aligns with national efforts to bridge the digital divide. However, challenges like high deployment costs and fibre vandalism persist.

Tabasamu Fibre’s Role in a Competitive Market
The Kenyan ISP sector is crowded, with major players like Safaricom and Zuku dominating urban centres. Tabasamu Fibre differentiates itself by offering affordable, high-bandwidth plans tailored for SMEs and remote workers.
Despite its growth, the company faces hurdles, including regulatory delays and competition from mobile broadband providers. A recent report by the Kenya Network Information Centre (KENIC) highlighted that fibre adoption remains low in rural areas due to infrastructure gaps—a challenge Tabasamu Fibre aims to address through phased expansions.
