What is a value added service?

A value added service refers to an enhancement a company gives its product or service before offering the product to customers. An ideal value added service for a home internet service is one that will go towards complimenting that service, while offering convenience coupled with the same reliability and stability of the internet service.This service must compliment your lifestyle while enhancing it. ZOL Zimbabwe continues to introduce value added services for their users with the aim of allowing the ZOL Fibroniks user to enjoy the benefits of internet in every aspect of their lifestyle.

Fibroniks on the Go is one such value added service that offers convenience while presenting its user with an unrivalled service which continues to make ZOL Fibroniks the most valuable internet service on the Zimbabwean market.

It offers you a means to enjoy their home internet service (Fibroniks) away from home at no extra cost.

You are also able to utilise the full features that come with the home internet service as long as they are at a ZOLspot or ZOLsecure location and with over 100 access points, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Think of the times when you use internet on the go

At a restaurant while enjoying a meal with family, friends or business colleagues; or when you are at an airport, be it outbound or on return, these are some few major instances when you may require internet access.

In most cases, you may rely on your mobile data which is costly (to put it politely) and unreliable when you need to access large files.

In other instances, you may carry a dongle.

The same type of problems may also occur.

Fibroniks on the Go users can make use of the ZOLsecure Network which is broadcasted alongside ZOLspot.

So if you are a ZOL customer with an active Fibroniks connection you can register a certain number of devices for access to ZOLspots nationwide, the number of devices you can register depends on the package you are on but the registration is simple and fast.

Connecting to ZOL secure allows you to enjoy a secure connection which allows for data encryption between your device and the access point so you can have full confidence that your data is safe.

This means that online transactions such as paying using your credit card or checking private e-mail messages can be done with Fibroniks on the Go while connected to ZOLsecure.

If you are a business person entertaining clients over a meal, catching up on your competition or checking your emails before boarding the plane, there is added convenience from being on Fibroniks!

ZOL customers can login to the myZOL site or app and they will see an option for My ZOLspot where you can manage your registered devices and add new devices.

Not registered to myZOL? All you need is your ZOL ID and access to the billing email address associated with your account and follow the steps laid out.

What about security?

Fibroniks on the Go is adequately protected by enabling password protection and data encryption.

ZOLspot solutions brings higher security, ZOL runs a parallel Wi-Fi SSID alongside ZOLspot called ZOLsecure.

ZOLsecure uses industry standard WPA2-Enterprise/802.1x encryption to secure the connection from the moment it leaves your laptop to the moment it is inside the access point meaning that those malicious types won’t be able to see what you are doing on the internet at a public hotspot.

Just another reason to use a ZOLspot and further to that; Fibroniks on the Go.

The older WEP Wi-Fi encryption standard is practically worthless at keeping knowledgeable hackers out, but the WPA and WPA2 standards will keep even sophisticated hackers out of a network.

Because Fibroniks on the Go allows for multiple devices, the same convenience can be enjoyed by the family once they have linked devices by registering on myZOL.co.zw.

Being able to enjoy your home internet connection while you are away from home means you can make the most use of your subscription.
