Yesterday state-owned telecoms company TelOne announced that it would be increasing package prices at the end of the month. This move has stirred local competitor ZOL to do the same. However, if you remember ZOL increased their package prices marginally last month but this one seems to be closely aligned with the hike that TelOne put out.
Dear Valued Customer,
This email serves to notify you of a price adjustment on all our products and services effective 1 October 2021. This price adjustment is consistent with ZOL Zimbabwe’s continued efforts to offer reliable service.
For more information on the price adjustment visit our website at www.zol.co.zw
Please be advised that all Unlimited Fibronike and Wibroniks subscriptions will be billed at the new price from 1 October 2021 and any prepayments must be made against an invoice for the prepayment period.ZOL
Thank you for your business and continued support.
Regards, TeamZOL
So was ZOL waiting for TelOne to make a move and then substantially increase prices? Who knows, whatever the case, here are the new ZOL internet package prices that will take effect on the 1st of October 2021:
