An American multinational provider of on-demand Internet streaming media, Netflix allows you to instantly watch unlimited movies and TV show episodes over the Internet. It bridges the gap between traditional TV services and DVD releases making it easier to catch up on your favourite series’ like Scandal and Breaking Bad as well as exclusive access to Netflix originals like House of Cards and Orange is the New Black.
It’s the future in terms of accessible entertainment in Zimbabwe and offers a lower priced and more convenient alternative to traditional television.
As recently announced, through Liquid Telecom’s super-fast fibre, Zimbabwean Internet Service Provider, ZOL Zimbabwe, has peered with Netflix to offer a solution to Zimbabwean viewers. With ZOL, viewers get a direct link to international TV shows, movies and documentaries, with no third party operators to slow down the connection.
The peering between ZOL and Netflix means that the video you’re streaming through your computer, is coming directly from the Netflix servers with no third party disruption. Currently, there is no other operator in Zimbabwe that can connect to Netflix through peering.
This direct access guarantees faster viewing and less of the dreaded ‘buffering’, which can only be seen as a positive for consumers looking for the best speed and performance on the market.
Because streaming offers you data as you need it, slow or interrupted internet connections make watching videos or streaming music a painful experience. Throwback to when streaming music or video was like sitting in stop-start traffic (let's all take a moment to reflect on the frustratingly inconvenient ‘buffering’).
Streaming – and specifically Video on Demand – represents the future of entertainment. Streaming means listening to music or watching videos in ‘real time’ instead of downloading the file – with ZOL, you can stream whenever you want. And with ZOL Fibroniks On The Go, wherever you want.
As important as speeds are - Netflix recommends minimum speeds of 5mbps for seamless streaming of HD movies - another important consideration when streaming is data consumption, as up to 3GB per hour is used when streaming HD videos.
Use your Netflix account alongside one of ZOL’s super-fast ZOL Fibroniks uncapped internet package to stream the best HD TV shows from around the globe, straight to your device, uninterrupted and with no surprises at the end of the month. Netflix is available on virtually any internet-accessible device, from tablets and smartphones to computers, gaming consoles and smart TVs.
Just like Netflix, there's a ZOL Fibroniks package to suit every usage and budget. And with speeds of up to 100mbps, Netflix & ZOL make the perfect ‘peering’.
