MTN Uganda has significantly updated its WakaNet Home broadband service, to include new pricing, better value offerings, additional products, and enhanced after-sales support under its “Welcome Home” drive. The changes are aimed at strengthening WakaNet’s position in the market by offering even more competitive pricing and advanced service options.

Wakanet Fiber and Business Internet Fiber packages have been increased by up to 6 times with the entry package bumped up from 10Mbps to 60Mbps at the same competitive price of UGX130,000 monthly. Customers with heavier needs can opt for 100Mbps, 200Mbps, and a top-tier package offering 500Mbps. In addition, all fiber packages offer unlimited data, with no usage caps.

MTN Uganda General Manager for Growth and New Business, Mr. Franklin Ocharo emphasized the telco’s commitment to customer satisfaction saying, “At MTN Uganda, we believe that everyone deserves access to reliable and high-speed internet, whether they are relaxing or working from home.” Adding, “Our new WakaNet pricing and service enhancements reflect our dedication to providing affordable, top-quality broadband solutions that meet the needs of our customers across the country. This is all part of our broader mission under Ambition 2025, to connect every Ugandan to the benefits of a modern, connected life.”

These updates align with MTN’s Ambition 2025, to provide access to high-quality digital services to everyone regardless of their location or usage requirements. Through WakaNet, MTN continues to improve the home internet experience across Uganda, offering reliable, high-speed internet tailored to meet the diverse needs of its customers.

MTN has also made reliable high-speed internet access for customers outside fiber coverage available by making the 5G router available for FREE upon purchase of a 5G package starting at UGX130,000 monthly, which now comes packaged with battery backup to enable customers to remain connected in case of a power outage.
