Techish Kenya
By June 2025, 81.2% of all broadband subscriptions were on 4G, while 5G data usage shot up 64% in just three months.
As per the latest stats, Kenya now has 1.2M 5G subscriptions compared to 0.7M a year ago.
This means Kenya added over half a million 5G subscriptions between June 2024 and June 2025.
At the same time, 4G subscriptions have been on the rise, but the same can’t be said of 2G and 3G subscriptions, which are both on a steady decline.
Still, Kenyans consumed 43,865.6 TB of 5G data as of June 2025, up from 6,657.5 TB of 5G mobile data a year ago, an average of 35.2GB per user.
