Fibre is cheaper than ADSL
We have partnered with multiple Fibre infrastructure providers. These are the guys who dig trenches along your street and put the fibre optic cables in the ground which lead to your house. They build the highway, we drive the cars.

Binge your favourite Netflix original, catch up on your Showmax movies or stream that movie off Google Play Movies or Amazon Prime (or whatever your preferred streaming service may be). Experience them all in high definition without long-winded buffering.
Share the same fast connection around your home – everyone under one roof can be browsing, watching, listening, downloading, playing and chatting at once.
We've entered a new world of Fibre possibilities, which means the inconsistent speeds of ADSL are a thing of the past.
Whether you’re a fan of racing games or shoot ‘em ups - from Xbox to SA Gamer (and everything in between) Fibre is the best way to experience your favourite game platforms with minimal lag times.
We’ll give you Free talk time every month on Webafrica Voice. You get (about 30 minutes on any SA network) per month to use over our VoIP service for as long as you have Webafrica Fibre. Move your existing number across to Webafrica Voice (at massively reduced call rates) and say goodbye to your landline forever.
Sending and receiving files shouldn't be a chore. It isn't with Fibre. You can move photos, documents, graphics and larger files quicker than ever before.
20 – 50 GB: Perfect for several users to send and receive emails, browse news and social media, and view or upload photos.
50 – 200 GB: Ideal for significant Internet usage, including media streaming, gaming, VoIP calls (like Skype) and frequent downloads.
200 – 2000 GB: If you have lots of people using the Internet for everything including downloads and live streaming, these options will ensure you won’t run out of data.
Uncapped: The convenience of uncapped is that you don’t have to worry about running out of gigs or having to top up at an additional cost.
10 Mbps – 40 Mbps: Enjoy blistering fast internet speeds. This is a good option for media-rich data, streaming HD movies and super-fast downloads. The ideal for an online-active family.
50 Mbps – 100 Mbps: This is effing fast internet! If seamless high speeds are essential to your family or business, then this is the one. Let everyone on your network experience mind-bendingly fast speeds at the same time.

Fibre is much, much faster than ADSL which means that your whole online experience is much faster eg. downloading emails and files, loading websites, streaming videos etc. This is because ADSL runs over your old telephone line which is a copper cable and was never really meant to do anything more than making sure you can phone your granny. Whereas Fibre was developed much more recently with the sole purpose of transmitting data at incredible speeds. Oh, it’s also made out of tiny glass particles so it doesn’t get nicked!
Heck no! Fibre is completely independent of a bundled voice line.
First up, Webafrica provides you with a free-to-use, pre-configured router. So you really don’t need worry your pretty little head about it. That said, you can use any router that has a LAN/WAN port, BUT it will need technical reconfiguring.
We rely on our various suppliers to provide us with the areas that can get Fibre Internet. While they are rolling out new Fibre Lines every week, not every area is covered yet.
Once you have ordered Fibre on our website, one of our friendly Fibre sales agents will be in contact to confirm you order.
First (and this is important) you need to be really, really nice to us.
Then check your address in the search box above.
If Fibre is available in your area, place an order. We’ll organise all the boring stuff, send you some cool stuff (your free-to-use router) and bada-bing, bada-bang, you’re online!
For sure! We don’t do contracts, remember?
So you can do any of the above at any time.
Upgrades are effective on the 1st of the new month.
Downgrades are effective on the 1st of the new month (if you downgrade before the 20th, otherwise it will only be effective the next month)
To Cancel – we need just one calendar month’s notice.
Yes you can.
Top up gigs do cost more than in-bundle gigs, so if you find you top up every month then you could save a bit of money by upgrading your package instead.
Please note that top up gigs do roll over to the next month until they are all used up.
Because we rely on external infrastructure providers to connect you, we can’t give a hard and fast timeframe. If you scroll up on this page you will see that we publish a live average wait time on each infrastructure providers’ info block. We hope this helps.
If you’re anything like us, you will be actively streaming most of your music, movies and series from now on. We recommend a 10Mbps (or higher) line to enjoy the likes of Netflix, Showmax, Amazon Prime and DSTV NOW without annoying buffering or lag times.
There are some amazing streaming services which will work beautifully on your Fibre line. Some of the tried and tested (and loved) options include Netflix, Showmax, Amazon Prime, Google Play Movies, DSTV Now, and iTunes Movies, to name a few.
If it’s music you’re after take a look at Spotify, iTunes, Google Play Music, Deezer, and even YouTube playlists. We also enjoy 8tracks, although some of the content will ask you to play through YouTube to get around licensing issues.
You’ll be happy to know that Webafrica Fibre internet is available in all the provinces of South Africa, including: Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, Kwazulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West, Northern Cape, And the wonderful Western Cape.
When you sign up for any of our Fibre packages (on a 10MB line or greater) we will give you 30 minutes of free VoIP calls per month, which you can use to call anyone, anytime, on any network in South Africa, or you can make international calls at ridiculously low rates! You can read all about our Webafrica Voice products and call rates on our VoIP page.
All our data packages are month-to-month, so you only need to give one calendar month’s notice in order to cancel your service.
The free-to-use router supplied to you by Webafrica remains the property of Webafrica, so if you cancel (or fall into a suspended state for longer than 30 days) you have the option to return it to us in its original packaging (provided it is in good condition). 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. You can also choose to keep the router and it will be charged to you.
Should you cancel your service (or fall into a suspended state for longer than 30 days) within the first 12 months of activation we will clawback any installation and/or connection fees which were subsidised by Webafrica when you signed up.
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 choose to cancel, or if your account falls into a suspended state for longer than 30 days, your free-to-use router will be billed to you, or you may choose to return it to us at your own expense. 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.
Should you cancel your service within 12 month’s of activation (or fall into a suspended state for longer than 30 days) you will be liable for any installation and / or connection fees which Webafrica initially subsidised on your behalf. These will be clawed back on your account.
Why not speak to our Fibre team and they will help you select the package best suited to your usage needs.
