Liquid Telecom is the leading independent data, voice and IP provider in eastern, central and southern Africa. It supplies fibre optic, satellite and international carrier services to Africa’s largest mobile network operators, ISPs, financial institutions and businesses of all sizes.

ZOL Zimbabwe currently operates more than 100 Wi-Fi Hotspots countrywide, all conveniently located to allow the data hungry masses to access content and enjoy the functionality of their devices. Anyone can enjoy internet access on ZOLspots by either signing up for a top up package or using the free access portal.
