TelOne Throwns In The Towel, Becomes Official Starlink Reseller

State-owned telecommunications company TelOne Zimbabwe has joined the bandwagon to become an official Starlink reseller.

The company shared the news with its customers and on its social media pages earlier today.

TelOne Now An Official Starlink Reseller

TelOne, the only fixed telecommunications service provider in Zimbabwe, announced:

“To all our valued Clients and Stakeholders, please be advised that TelOne is now an officially authorised Starlink Reseller. This exciting development expands our range of services that enable us to better serve you with modern and efficient connectivity solutions. The Starlink satellite internet solution is designed to deliver high-speed, low-latency internet access, including the most remote parts of the country.

“TelOne is committed to providing connectivity across Zimbabwe and beyond. The appointment of TelOne as an authorised Starlink reseller enhances our ability to reach this goal.”

As a reseller, TelOne’s price for Starlink kits is still unclear. The telecoms parastatal shared a link where customers can preregister for the satellite internet service.

Disdain And Jeers

The development elicited varying responses online.

“Isn’t this like Jah Prayzah selling Winky D’s CDs?“
