Fiber-optic Internet is an Internet connection that transfers data fully or partially via fiber optic cables. “Fiber” refers to the thin glass wires inside the larger protective cable. “Optic” is the way the type of data is transferred – light signals.

Zuku Internet Uganda Coverage

Unfortunately, not all Ugandans can enjoy the Zuku fast fiber internet speeds. There are still factors limiting total coverage. You can put this limited (maybe slow-paced) coverage to various factors like hefty costs, demand, and geographical reasons, among others. However, the fiber optical cables have been passed through most of the urban areas around Kampala.

If you live in the areas of Naguru, Kololo, Bukoto, Ntinda, Kyambogo, Bugolobi, Mbuya, Mutungo, Mbuya, and Luzira, then you should be among those who are enjoying the Zuku internet package plans. More areas are still on the “COMING SOON” list.
