The other day, Airtel Kenya announced that it had revamped its famous Amazing Data bundles packages, offering more data for the same price.
The new packages saw the amount of data offered rise by approximately 20% across the board. This means that for those who used the Amazing Data bundles for streaming, you can now enjoy even more streaming time for the same amount of money.
Before we get to the number of hours you can now stream on Netflix and YouTube, here’s the new rates you get with Amazing Data Bundle:

For those who choose to enjoy Netflix or YouTube out-of-bundle, thanks to Airtel’s new #BeSure tariff, out-of-bundle rates are now charged at 1 shilling per 5MB used, which translates to:
- 158 bob for 1 hour of Netflix
- 100 bob for 1 hour of YouTube
To access these new rates, Airtel subscribers will be required to dial *544*2#. All the new Amazing Data Bundles still come with the usual free unlimited WhatsApp even when the selected data bundles run out but the expiry period is still valid.
