Econet data services are down countrywide

There have been numerous reports of Econet’s Data services missing in action in a majority of the parts of the country. Econet has not issued a statement yet but its subscribers are already calling them out on social media.

The last time Econet had such an outage, the official statement was an issue on their core network that’s responsible for provisioning mobile services. The ISP has been vocal about how the myriad of power cuts in the country has been crippling the quality of their service. They are having to strain their backup power systems to maintain uptime as is every ISP in the country and some of it is starting to fail, causing isolated outages. However, it’s not clear if this is the case with a nationwide data failure.

If you have a NetOne or Telecel line and you are stranded, you can use your EcoCash to buy NetOne or Telecel data bundles by dialing *405#. Shameless plug I know but it’s a viable option.

    These are the effects of sanctions on the economy. We lost signal to our recently launched satellite whose line of sight had been blocked by an American satellite.

    Guys, the timing of it😂 The blackout happened right after I swapped handsets to test out a fix support gave me for another issue. I went from one line stuck on edge to two lines with no data connection no matter how many times I swapped or restarted! I seriously thought I bricked my Sims until I got econets SMS🤣

      A smaller kit is allegedly in development, about the size of an ipad and with integrated rechargeable battery! If this thing is real and comes with a healthy price cut, sorry (not sorry) econet, I’ll never buy another private wifi bundle again!

    Econet are now deliberately throttling their download/upload speeds on their usd hourly data bundles to very low speeds. Not cool

    Your update is appreciated; however, please be aware that there is a time constraint associated with purchasing data from my end. Who is therefore going to incur the daily loss penalty? gorilla tag
