High speed fiber

Main features


  • High speed internet

    Fiber allows us to deliver connections to your business up to 1Gbps per second. That’s around 1000 times faster than an entry level ADSL package.

  • Priority support

    Our fiber packages come with priority support and flexible SLAs to meet your business needs and keep your staff connected at all times.

  • Flexible Packages

    Through our various partners we can offer you a package that meets your needs and suits your budget.

  • Download = upload

    Our enterprise fiber packages not only allow for high download speeds but also high upload speeds

What is fiber


Optical fiber is a small stand of glass thinner than a human hair through which information can be transferred in the form of light, this allow for greater bandwidth and lower latency which means information can be transmitted much faster.


Advantages of fiber


Fiber allows for much higher speeds then DSL or wireless connections.

One of the advantages of fiber over traditional copper based connections is that the cable has very little value if stolen which eliminates one of the biggest problems we face in South Africa which is cable theft. This means less interruptions to your business.

Fiber is also less prone to interference which results in consistent performance.


Fiber availability


Fiber is currently being rolled out aggressively by various network operators in major cities such as Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape  Town, Durban and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately we as a country are still in the early stages of making this technology available to all which means not all customers will qualify for this service, please contact our sales department to see if you qualify.

Microwave Wireless

What is Microwave Wireless


Microwave Wireless allows internet access by means of a line of sight connection from your premises to one of our high sights, this means your building does not require any physical connections to be laid. Because the connection is made over a direct line of sight your connections is not prone to interference from weather elements.

Wireless can either be installed using the public spectrum or alternatively on a licensed spectrum, though the licensed option is more expensive it does allow for superior connections.


Coverage


Microwave has a far greater coverage map compared to fiber but is limited to whether a high sight is visible from your building. Prior to any proposals being sent a qualified wireless engineer will perform a site survey from your building to ensure that the connection is possible and will remain stable.

Main features


  • Greater coverage map

    Microwave Wireless has a far larger coverage map than fiber.

  • Priority support

    As with fiber our Microwave customer can enjoy priority support on outages and issues

  • Managed firewall

    All packages include a managed firewall with the option to upgrade to a UTM (Unified Threat Management) device.

  • Better upload speeds

    While download speeds won’t be as high as fiber our wireless links do offer superior upload speeds compared to traditional DSL.

Traditional DSL

Main features


  • Cost effective solution

    DSL is and remains one of the cheapest ways to connect to the internet in South Africa

  • up to 40Mbps download

    If your area supports VDSL you can enjoy download speeds of up to 40Mbps

  • No contacts

    Our DSL packages run on a month to month agreement, all you need to do is give notice that you wish to cancel.

  • Ideal for home users and small businesses

    Our DSL accounts come in 2 flavors: consumer and business.

How DSL works


DSL which stands for Digital Subscriber Line is a service offered by the fixed line operators in South Africa which allows you connect to the internet over your telephone line.


Coverage


Due to the massive size of Telkom’s fixed line network you should have no problem qualifying for a DSL line and as most customers do currently have DSL lines installed you can switch to our DSL accounts with ease. If you don’t currently have a line from Telkom installed click here to check if you are covered.


Best effort service


DSL is unfortunately a “best effort” service which means there are no guarantees that you will qualify for the highest speeds and enjoy a consistent experience which means it cannot be used for mission critical services.

For this reason we recommend using DSL as a last resort.
