Fibre

Fibre internet uses fibre optic cables to send data at incredible speeds – up to 70% of the speed of light! This makes fibre the fastest internet you can get – up to 50 times faster than the fastest DSL available in South Africa. 

With fibre’s improved bandwidth throughput, you’ll have a more stable connection with lower latency. Because fibre uses light instead of electrical pulses to transmit data, it’s weather resistant and the connection doesn’t degrade over large distances. This gives you a consistent, fast and dependable internet experience.

With fibre you can connect more devices at better speeds than ever before. Start enjoying reliable, fast internet in every room of the house. One of the awesome benefits of using fibre is that you don’t need a Telkom landline to get connected. You’ll save hundreds every month because you’re not paying for a phone line (which you probably won’t use anyway) just to connect to the internet.

Say goodbye to constant buffering and lagging! Thanks to fibre’s fast, smooth connectivity you can enjoy HD or 4K (or even 8K!) content – even if several people are streaming at the same time. Super‑low latency means you can take gaming to a whole new level too.

Below is a list of advantages and disadvantages of fibre internet.
