Webafrica’s Fixed LTE hooks you up with fast internet where you least expect it, with an ever-expanding network to keep you connected.
Our Fixed LTE service uses hassle-free mobile technology rather than complicated cables. Your path to the internet is airborne, straight from your router to your nearest LTE tower.
No Landline, no cables, no landlord approval, no lengthy contracts, nada! Just you, your SIM-powered router and your wandering mind. All delivered to your door, up and running, within 5 business days of your successful order. Well, we deliver the Fixed LTE, not the wandering mind. That’s up to you.
Our Fixed LTE network coverage is expanding fast, and our infrastructure providers are constantly updating their maps. To find out if you’re covered simply enter your street address into the search bar below and we’ll check if you can get Fixed LTE. Alternatively, find your house on our LTE map and pin it to see what’s available.
Once you’ve found which LTE service is in your area, just choose the package that suits you best. To complete your order you will be required to RICA your Fixed LTE account, but don’t worry, we’ve made this process easy. Then all you need to do is pay the once off connection and delivery fee, and we’ll get you connected!
We aim to courier all LTE products within five business days of the successful order. Make sure you have your ID and proof of residence ready to present to the courier.

South African RICA law dictates that we must make use of an external third party courier. While we try to team up with the fastest and most reliable resources, we are ultimately at their mercy for the delivery of your LTE SIM and router.
With Telkom LTE deliveries, you will be given a number to SMS if you need to make any changes to the delivery time or place.
Most orders are delivered within 3-5 days of successfully placing your order.LTE is capable of up to 50Mbps. If the network is congested, or you are located far from the tower, or if there is bad weather in your area, you may experience slower speeds.
Our Cell C customers can expect an average download speed of between 4-50Mbps. Our Telkom customers can expect an average download speed of between 10-25 Mbps.All of our data packages are month-to-month, so you need only give one calendar month’s notice should you wish to cancel.
If you do decide to cancel your LTE service or if your account falls into a suspended state for longer than 30 days, you will be billed for your router.
Alternatively, you may choose to return your router to us (at your own expense) and we will then credit this amount back to you. If you did not take one of our routers, and were thus given a credit on your account, then this amount will be clawed back upon cancellation.
Please ensure that the LAN cable and anything else which came in the router box is returned or these items will be billed to your account.A maximum of three per customer is allowed.
We’ve run rigorous tests on both networks and have found the following:
Speeds depend on various factors (proximity to LTE tower, the location of the router in the home, interference from mother nature etc). Due to the nature of the wireless network, the speed you sign up for is the maximum speed you can expect at best effort from the Mobile Network Operator.
Telkom’s Fixed LTE service works anywhere within Telkom’s coverage area. (Remember, their coverage maps expand weekly so check back at any time to see if your next destination is covered). That said, our Fixed LTE is designed to be a fixed home-based product and it can take up to 24 hours to connect to a new tower if you do move it.
MTN:MTN’s Fixed LTE service is designed to be used at your home or office. Remember, the SIM card will be locked to the location you provided during sign-up and as a result your Fixed LTE services will ONLY work at this location.

You shouldn’t be affected by network congestion from mobile data users if we indicate that LTE is available in your area.
