Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about fibre in South Africa.

What is the difference between an ISP and an FNO?

An FNO (Fibre Network Operator) owns the physical cables in the ground. An ISP (Internet Service Provider) sells you the internet service and handles your billing. You need both to get online.

How long does installation usually take?

It varies by FNO, but typically takes between 3 to 15 working days. Some areas with pre-installed fibre can be activated in as little as 24 hours.

Is uncapped fibre really uncapped?

Most 'uncapped' plans have a Fair Use Policy (FUP). If you use an extreme amount of data, your speed might be slowed down (throttled) during peak times.

Do I need a new router for fibre?

Most fibre packages include a free-to-use router. However, if you have a large home, you might want to invest in a Mesh Wi-Fi system for better coverage.

What happens to my fibre during loadshedding?

The fibre network itself usually stays up, but your router needs power. A small Mini-UPS can keep your internet running for 4-8 hours during an outage.

Can I move my fibre to a new house?

Fibre is tied to the physical address. You'll need to cancel your current service and apply for a new one at your new address, though your ISP can often help manage the move.
