How to access free Wi-Fi in Kenya
We have come of age where accessing the internet was an adventure on its own left for the rich and only those who could afford it. Currently Wi-Fi is the most popular means to get connected to the internet and we have companies that have gone to the length of providing free Wifi to Kenyans.
Data bundles have continued to be cheap over years but the growing number of sophisticated gadgets has increased the appetite for data among internet users. People are spending more time on internet than they used to some few years ago and their gadgets are consuming more data. This has called for the need to have unlimited Wi-Fi that can support multiple users.
In Kenya you are likely to find free Wi-Fi in a town near you that can keep you connected to the internet. Most universities and learning institutions in Kenya have made it possible for their students to access free Wi-fi as well.
