Zuku pay-TV is a household name in the Pay Tv and internet service provision sector. In an industry predominated by giant players like Dstv, GOtv, and Startimes, among others, Zuku’s innovative approach to the entertainment market has been incredible and it is the reason why the brand still boasts a fair share in this niche.
Zuku incorporates the provision of TV and internet services at the same time. So, if you don’t fancy its TV packages, you could opt for internet products instead.
The TV provider uses a satellite receiver for signal transmission on its TV service. With a network coverage encompassing the country’s top cities and towns such as Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and beyond, a huge chunk of the Kenyan population is already using Zuku.
In this post, I discuss everything about Zuku packages for both their TV and internet products. Here is where we start.
Zuku Internet Packages
Zuku internet can be categorized into two major types: the internet only packages and triple-play packages. Both of these display varying internet speeds and extras, and of course, are different prices.
Internet Only Packages
With this plan of the Zuku internet service, you get only an internet connection when you subscribe to it. There is no TV unless you add more cash to include coverage of the TV subscription.
Here is a quick guide on the internet only packages with their specific prices:
- Up to 5Mbps for Ksh. 2,499
This subscription gives you internet speeds up to 5mbps. Not too much speed but if you don’t want high speeds, this is probably a good place to start.
The speeds are a good fit for use at home where there are no heavy internet demands. But if you plan to use it for business, perhaps it could be enough just for about 1-2 users.
It is the cheapest package you can get on Zuku. Installation is free, you also get a free modem and in case you want to watch TV, simply add Ksh. 499 and access a TV Classic pack.
- Up to 10 Mbps for Ksh. 3,999
For serious internet users with heavy browsing and high streaming needs, the 10 Mbps bundle is quite the deal. It is pretty fast and provides great satisfaction for users streaming HD videos 1080p quality.
There are no buffering interruptions. This means you can use this package for basic online gaming if you are a gaming buff.
Zuku provides free installation services and a modem. You can also upgrade this subscription to include a TV classic pack for just Ksh. 499.
Zuku Triple Play Internet Packages.
Unlike the internet only subscription plan, Zuku Triple Play offers both web browsing and Zuku TV channels. Plus, you can also make phone calls on this plan.
The three services offered are the ones that qualify this package to be a triple play. Let’s quickly check the individual plans under this package.
- Up to 5Mbps for Ksh. 2,799
For affordable options, you would be better with this plan. You are guaranteed at least 5 Mbps internet speeds on top of 60 TV channels that include both local and international channels.
When you buy the package, you get free installation services and a free digital TV decoder. In the first month of watching, you will enjoy free access to the premium and Asian channels.
- Up to 10 Mbps for Ksh. 4,199
This package offers 10 Mbps on top of the 60 TV channels of local and international channels and telephone service.
If you want a super-fast internet connection experience that enables you to enjoy fast downloads and high-speed HD video streaming, the 10 Mbps Zuku Triple Play plan will do the trick.
You will enjoy free installation and modem. You also get a free digital TV decoder plus a bonus of access to free premium and Asian Channels for one full month.
Reviewers rank it as arguably the best-selling Zuku package.
- Up to 30 Mbps for Ksh. 5,299
30 Mbps would be terrific right? That’s what this package offers in terms of download speeds.
In addition to these speeds, you get;
- Free installation, a modem, and decoder
- 60 local and international TV channels
- Free telephone Zuku to Zuku

This package can power many devices simultaneously without internet connectivity issues. It would suit a large business with multiple internet users.
- Up to 50 Mbps for Ksh. 6,799
If you are looking for an even better internet connection with super-lightning speeds, Zuku gets you covered with this package that gives extraordinary 50 Mbps speeds.
Downloads on this subscription plan are almost instant. Just in a blink of an eye and your large 1GB file will already be right under the folders.
On top of these heavenly speeds, you access all other services as seen in the up to 30 Mbps plan.
- Up to 100 Mbps for Ksh. 11,299
For well-established large organizations and companies, having highly Zuku WiFi packages like reliable internet connectivity for everyone is essential for the business. And this one offering up to 100 Mbps is what these companies need.
Therefore, this plan is best utilized in high-end offices to power smart TVs, several laptops, desktops, mobile phones, and any other devices in the vicinity.
- Up to 250 Mbps for Ksh. 22,499
You can up your game and let nothing hinder your online aspirations with this package. The 250 Mbps internet package is a speed demon and undeniably the fastest Zuku Triple Play Package option ever available.
