Zimbabwe’s largest fibre internet provider, Liquid, has just announced speed increases for its unlimited data fibre packages.
The lowest priced package, a US $169 package called “Infinity” which was on 150Mbps will go up to 1000Mbps. The other package, called “Family Entertainment” is priced at US $226 will go up from 100Mbps to 300Mbps.
Said Liquid in its announcement:
Starting this Friday, Fast Just Became Faster!
We are delighted to announce new speeds for our packages! Enjoy lightning-fast internet with all our FibroniX packages, which are perfect for all your work, gaming, and entertainment needs.
If you’re wondering why they package with the lower price is getting a higher speed boost, here’s the probable reason from what we understand:
Those infinity prices are promotional and anyone using a regular packages such as “Family Entertainment” can choose to go onto the promotional prices. We still don’t quite understand why the promotional pricing is not automatic for customers paying more, and we’ll update as soon as we do.

That $226 price is also probably high because the company got approval to increase local currency tariff’s recently. When they increase local currency prices, all operators in Zimbabwe price in an exchange rate run-away buffer. The expectation is that the USD price eventually settle to an amount much lower.

Following Starlink’s entry into the market, the company has made some effort to stay competitive. With Starlink now at capacity and not able to take on more customers in Harare and surrounding areas, Liquid has had a make services even more appealing to its customers so they don’t get any ideas about leaving once Starlink can take more customers.
