Fasterfast Fibre is the best there is, the only real question is “Can you get it”?
Fibre is the fastest and most reliable internet technology available in South Africa. Fibre internet makes use of glass fibres and light technology that allow you to access the internet at extremely high speeds.
If you need internet that is reliable, fast and able to manage multiple devices at once without breaking a sweat, Fibre is the one for you.
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.

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.
We rely on the infrastructure providers to install your line. This can take anywhere between two and eight weeks, depending on the provider.
Sometimes physical obstructions such as thick walls, the size of your home, mirrors and even your neighbours’ multiple WiFi signals can become a limiting factor to your WiFi speeds. While your router is still receiving stupendous internet speeds, you might need to invest in hardware which will extend your WiFi coverage area and distribute fast internet throughout the premises.
You require Fibre to be installed on your street, and a fibre box (CPE device) to be installed in your home. The installation process involves bringing the fibre line from the street into your house. You will then plug a Fibre router into your CPE device, from where your internet can be accessed.
We are able to troubleshoot many of your issues, but we rely on the infrastructure providers to fix technical issues on your line. We are happy to deal with them on your behalf, but they remain our “man on the ground” for physical issues.
Why not speak to our Fibre team and they will help you select the package best suited to your usage needs.
