We have listened to you and we are upgrading our poa! home service to make it Faster, More Flexible, & Even Better Value.
Faster:
We have increased our speed from 4Mbps to 5Mbps so that you will experience smoother streaming, better browsing, less buffering and faster downloads.
More Flexible:
We have introduced three flexible subscription plans to cater for your diverse needs and help you navigate the financial uncertainty life sometimes provides:

NEW Weekly Plan: We’re the first home internet provider in Kenya to officially offer a WEEKLY plan. Our Weekly Subscription Plan is available to everyone and gives you the ultimate flexibility.

Monthly Plan: Our regular Monthly Subscription Plan is now even better value than before, reducing your price per MB even further.

NEW Saver Plan: If you Pay on Time you save even more each month. Most of our customers already pay on time (or pay early), so if you join them on our new Saver Plan you receive an additional discount every month meaning even more savings.

Total Flexibility: Another first from poa based on your feedback, you now have the ability to remain in total control of your finances as they move. You can now change between these three plans whenever you want and as many times as you like simply by logging into poa.im (https://poa.im/login). Changing your plan takes seconds, you choose what you pay, when you pay it.

Even Better Value:
Our Installation Fee is now permanently Kes. 1000 off at only Kes. 2500, lowering the cost for you to access unlimited internet.

Our NEW Weekly Plan is only Kes. 450, giving you the lowest possible entry price point for anyone wanting to access unlimited home internet in Kenya.

Our Regular Monthly Plan is now just Kes. 1750 for Speed Boost 5mbps, meaning a considerable reduction in the price per Mbps. You now pay just Kes. 350 per Mbps reduced from our previous price of Kes. 375 per Mbps.

Our NEW Saver Plan is only Kes. 1575 saving you even more, every time you pay on time you receive an additional discount of Kes. 175, reducing your cost per Mbps down to just Kes. 315.

Our Upfront Costs to get connected are now reduced from Kes. 5000 to Kes. 4075 and include our Best Value Monthly Saver Plan.

From your second month of service, you can choose any of the three flexible subscription plans and continue to change them as frequently as you like, as and when your finances demand.

This will depend on the setup. There are two setups you could be on:

Set up 1
If you’re the only customer in your building:
1. Make sure the black/purple cable running from the roof is firmly connected to the small white/black adapter on a port written power out/ POE.
2. The adapter also connects to your router from the port written LAN/ data in to port no.1, labelled internet.
3. If this is all correctly powered, the rectangular white/black device should have a steady white/green light.
4. Also ensure the router is powered and connected to a socket

Set up 2
If you’re in a building with many poa! customers, your setup is the simplest. Make sure the black/purple cable running from the roof is in port 1 of your router.
1. For you to know the setup is okay, make sure the router is powered (has a steady power light) and port 1 is blinking.
2. Go to your settings on your device
3. Click on Wi-Fi.
4. Select your network (your WIFI’s username as labelled on your box or at the bottom of your router)
5. Enter your password (labelled on your box or at the bottom of your router) then connect

2. Click on Wi-Fi.
3. Select your network (your WIFI’s username as labelled on your box or at the bottom of your router
4. Enter your password (labelled on your box or at the bottom of your router) then connect. If you’ve ever changed your password, use the one that you updated to

There's no limit to the number of devices that one can connect but the more devices you connect, the slower the speeds as the connection is shared

You can reduce the number of devices on your connection and ensure there are no apps or torrents running in the background that are consuming your speeds. If this doesn’t improve things, call customer care and we will run a speed test to see if there is a technical problem. If there are several heavy data users in your premises, you can also upgrade to a business connection, which means you can choose what speed you pay for and opt for far higher speeds.

1. Make sure your router is an open place i.e not blocked by other household equipment.
2. You can also mount it in a central place to increase coverage across the house. Ensure your connections still remains secure though.
3. Invest in a wi-fi extender if you want to access additional rooms. Here are the recommended extender routers:
TP-Link: Model range starting with TL-WAXXXX
D-Link: Model range starting with DAP-XXXX or DMG-XXXX
Tenda routers Model range starting with APX
4. Restart your connection (from the socket) atleast once a month
5. Turn off or disconnect the devices you aren't using to improve network speeds for those that are using
6. Limit the number of people that you share your password with or update it every once in awhile to kick out unwanted users

Whatsapp us via 0730762762 for further inquiries

1. Your router should be on a raised ground to improve the signal
2. It should be placed in an open space to prevent blocking the signal. e.g, it should not be behind your TV.
3. It should be placed in a central location to allow you access as many rooms as possible.

2. Ensure the adapter (black/ white), that connects the cable from outside to the inside connection has a steady light.
3. Confirm if all the cables are in good condition and are firmly connected on the devices. (You can refer to the sticker on your router to ensure the cables are in the correct ports)
4. If the setup is okay but the internet is still acting up, go through the different devices/ sites to confirm that the issue is not just affecting one device and/or browsers
