📡Safaricom Network Coverage Falls Short in 8⃣ Regions🔊: CA

Mobile operator Safaricom has failed to reach the minimum network coverage target of 87.5 per cent in atleast eight of the ten regions analysed by the Communication Authority. The eight regions include Nairobi, Western, Central, North Rift, South Rift, Northwestern, Lower Eastern, and Upper Eastern as revealed in the 2015/2016 Quality of Service (QoS) performance report by the authority that was made public on Friday last week.

Of these eight, Western, Lower Eastern, Northwestern, and South Rift regions scored 50 per cent on network coverage. The rest scored between 62.5 per cent and 75 per cent. This means that chances for a subscriber to experience stable network signal strength from the base transmission station are lower compared to other operators.

Telkom Kenya was the best performer, with full compliance in four regions that include Nairobi, Central, Nyanza and Western. Airtel came in second with full compliance in three regions which are Nyanza, Western and Nairobi.
