Starlink Kenya has rapidly become the top satellite internet service for homes, businesses, and remote users across the country. With speeds of up to 250–350 Mbps, nationwide availability, and simple month-to-month plans, Starlink is transforming internet access in Kenya—especially in areas where fibre and 5G have not yet reached.
At Zadi Tech, we tested Starlink across different counties, including Nairobi, Nakuru, Eldoret, Nyeri, Kisumu, Mombasa, and rural zones—and the results were impressive. From streaming live sports in Samburu to running Zoom calls in a farm in Nyandarua, Starlink consistently delivered fast, low-latency internet even in remote locations.
But just like any technology, Starlink has its strengths and weaknesses. Below is our Kenyan-focused deep dive.

Our results:
-
Download speeds: 90–230 Mbps

⭐ Is Starlink Kenya Good For…?
Remote Work? – YES (with clear sky view)
Most tasks—email, browsing, database work—performed smoothly.
Video calls were stable 80% of the time.
If your dish is not properly mounted, Zoom may freeze.
Tip: Let Zadi Tech mount your dish on a high point for maximum signal.
Gaming? – Surprisingly YES
Starlink beats all other satellite internet providers.
Gamers in Eldoret, Nairobi, and Nyeri tested:
-
FIFA
-
Fortnite

Call of Duty

GTA Online
Latency stayed between 35–55 ms, which is great.
Streaming Live TV? – Strong YES
We streamed:

EPL matches
-

Showmax
All tested well, even in remote areas like Samburu and Magadi.
But during storms or tree obstructions, the stream may buffer.
