Liquid Home (Zol) prices rising by 61% in November to this

Leonard Sengere

TelOne Telco Liquid Home

You’re used to it now. Or at least you ought to be. There will be price adjustments every other month and you better be at peace with that.

The regulatory authority, Potraz, somewhat controls how often ISPs like Liquid Home can increase their prices. However, price controls or not, the prices still go up.

The ZW$-USD exchange rate has been more or less stable in the last few months and so one would have been forgiven for thinking we wouldn’t be seeing these price hikes. The ISPs feel they were prevented from charging what they really wanted to in months past and so will not pass up the opportunity to increase tariffs as allowed by the regulator.

If ISPs had their way, we would have been paying these new prices from January. Instead, the price increases were staggered, thanks to Potraz. We saw a price increase in mid-July, then one in September and now another one for November (61%) in Liquid Home’s case.

Here are the new prices, effective 1 November:

    Increased prices should be proportional to better service but apparently that isn’t the case

    Ridiculous prices for an equally ridiculous poor service. Unfortunate the competition is weak af in Zimbabwe, beacuse one would just switch services and be done with it.
