But what is fibre optic internet?

Simply, fibre optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optic cable.

Fibre optic cables are tiny strands made of plastic or glass which are designed to carry virtual information faster than the standard copper wires used in broadband connections.

In fact, a fibre wire has more bandwidth (carries more information) than traditional metal cables.

One of the biggest challenges African internet service providers (ISPs) like ZOL are combating, is the reality of being left behind in terms of global technological development. This digital divide results in inequality between countries that have embraced digital technologies and countries that are just emerging.

Even in countries where individuals have the ability and are capable of accessing the internet, most are still limited by their country’s infrastructure.

However, thanks to fibre optic cables, many African countries, including Zimbabwe are starting to see rapid growth in digital connectivity.

In fact, ZOL recently caused a stir in the market by launching its lowest priced fibre package; Fibroniks Lite, in an aim to make quality connectivity accessible and affordable to all.

The internet is becoming much more than just a tool, it is a fundamental part of society.

By combining its unrivalled speeds and excellent customer service with a game-changing price tag of $29, ZOL will ensure that high-speed and quality internet becomes a basic right for everyone.

In a significant upgrade, ZOL has also increased the data allowance on all of their capped Home Fibroniks packages:

Fibroniks — Basic Essentials

$39 per month was 15GB now 25GB per month

Fibroniks — Family Essentials

$89 was 30GB now a massive 50GB p/m

Not only can customers enjoy super-fast speeds on fibre, but now they can browse and stream for longer!

So, if you spend much of your time on the internet, streaming Netflix, playing online games and using multiple devices, a fibre connection could offer you the best solution in terms of speed and reliability.

Businesses that rely on the internet, would also benefit significantly from having a fibre optic broadband connection.

ZOL’s high speed Fibroniks service has already started making a massive difference to businesses and families in Zimbabwe.

With many people connecting with family in the diaspora, sending and receiving money; businesses seeking the best talent and expanding their digital footprint internationally, it’s never been more crucial to be connected.
