Good news for anyone on a capped package from ZOL – The internet service provider has slashed the prices of its top-up bundles for its fibre service ZOL Fibroniks and its Pay as You Go Wimax service.
The price of the minimum 1GB top-up bundle has been reduced from $7 to $3, the 2GB top-up is now set at $5 down from $12, a 5 GB bundle now costs $10, 10 GB costs $19 and there’s a 25 GB bundle that’s set at $40.
| Bundle | Data | Validity Period |
|---|---|---|
| $3 | 1 GB | 30 Days |
| $5 | 2 GB | 30 Days |
| $10 | 5 GB | 30 Days |
| $19 | 10 GB | 60 Days |
| $40 | 25 GB | 90 Days |
This is a big deal especially for subscribers that were using the smaller Fibroniks packages like the 15 GB/$29 ZOL Fibroniks Lite or the $49/ Fibroniks Basic.
Like any other capped fibre service, the data allowances on these packages have always been a point of weakness, especially now as data consumption patterns continue to evolve to accommodate the data hungry services that users are enjoying nowadays like VOD, video content on every social network, cloud storage of content and even audio streaming.
A few months ago ZOL adjusted its caps to cater for this, but still an extra 10 GB for $45 just to finish off the month after running out of your 15 GB Lite allowance was still ridiculously priced.
At least the cost of that extra bit of data won’t be as prohibitive as it was in the past.

Now finally something good from ZOL. I can now get a Fibre package without having to worry too much about what I will do once I exhaust my allocated data
Now since they afford to sell $10 for $19-00 why cant they just have their smallest package at that amount. Surely many households out there are not heavy internet users. Even 5GB per month will do
in any business there is a min price at which they stand to make profit or loss. its like lafarge will znot deliver to me stones less than 7m3 coz that’s a loss from a logistics view.
if you want less then you pay more until a certain point.

SLIGHTLY better from ZOL but over all their service is poor, the cost is installation is ridiculous and their interest in their customers almost zero!
That has all changed now. They are more friendly and responsive than telone. Installation is free
Fibroniks this, Fibroniks that!! When are we ever going to get this fibre connection in suburbs like Waterfalls, Hatfield and etc. There seems to be no development on that issue and it makes no sense why this fibre thing gets so much publicity and attention like it does when most parts of the capital and even most parts of the country have no access to it.
Very true when is this fibre going to be installed in Southerton?
