- Unlike other operators Utande allows you to rent equipment from them instead of paying the entire installation fee
- VSAT is expensive but useful in areas where there is no Fibre coverage. However, at these prices, you are better off getting 4G and using OneFi and Private WiFi Bundles wherever there is coverage
- The idea is that most rural areas in Zimbabwe are covered using Edge technology which is much slower
- Bonus Time is when you use your internet connection between 00:00 and 06:00
- VSAT connections also suffer from latency
- However, they can be useful as a backup as they are not under the thumb of the government. Whenever there is an internet shutdown these connections remain up
