Starlink service in the Harare metropolitan area, including surrounding towns, has reached maximum capacity, leaving many potential subscribers on a waitlist. This shortage has prompted interest in Amazon's forthcoming satellite internet service, Leo.
While not yet operational anywhere, Amazon Leo is scheduled for a public rollout starting in 2026. Its initial availability could provide new internet capacity for cities like Harare and Bulawayo. The service will offer three tiers of speed, though specific pricing for Zimbabwe has not been announced. For comparison, Starlink currently offers plans at approximately 30 USD per month. It remains unclear if Amazon Leo will integrate with existing services like Amazon Prime Video to offer bundled discounts.
