Are those prices in USD, or a local currency? (Apologies for not knowing which local currency to ask about; it seems that Zimbabwe changed currency recently and no longer uses the Zimbabwean Dollar?)

I'm guessing the local currency as Zimbabwe's GDP per capita is $2,005, so salaries have to be lower. I doubt anyone could afford to pay 30% of their yearly income on an internet connection :-)
No, it is definitely USD. $650 ZWD would be like $2USD. I doubt OP is complaining about that.
So like, 67% of Zimbabweans don't have internet (2022).
