Here\u2019s what you didn\u2019t know\u2026<strong>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\">Fibre is cheaper than ADSL!\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Can YOU get Fibre Internet? Is Fibre cheaper than ADSL for you? Search your address in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webafrica.co.za\/fibre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fibre map<\/a> to find out.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Fibre Cheaper than ADSL?<\/h2>\n<p>YES!<\/p>\n<p>We took a look at our biggest three competitors&#8217; uncapped ADSL packages, added them together, divided the sum by three \u2013 and found the average cost of an ADSL uncapped package and 10Mbps ADSL line.<\/p>\n<p>Then we added the compulsory copper voice line which is required to run any ADSL line.<\/p>\n<p>The result? *An average cost of around <strong>R900\/month for ADSL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>(Note: this amount does <strong>not include<\/strong> your ADSL router, which you need to buy yourself)<\/p>\n<p>Now, our Fibre prices do vary per provider, but every single one of our 10Mbps Fibre packages costs less than the equivalent average* 10Mbps ADSL package (with voice line) and in most cases, our 10Mbps Fibre packages are even cheaper than the average* 4Mbps ADSL package (with voice line).\u00a0 There are only two 10Mbps Fibre packages which cost more than your average* 4Mbps ADSL package (with voice line) &#8211; but the increase in both instances is around R50 per month, and your speed increases by 150%! On all the other packages you can expect to save up to R300 <em>per month for a superior service!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>How is this possible you ask? Well, the thing is, once you have a Webafrica Fibre package, you\u2019ll never need a stand-alone landline again (which you do need to qualify for ADSL). That&#8217;s around R201 per month that you were paying for a landline which (let&#8217;s face it) you probably used once a month to call your grandma.<\/p>\n<h3>Here\u2019s why you don&#8217;t need a landline for Fibre:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Fibre runs on Fibre optic cables, and you don\u2019t need a copper landline at all<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is great news because Fibre cables don\u2019t get stolen, as they have no street value (unlike copper cables) and they don\u2019t rust and degrade like copper cables do \u2013 which means no deteriorating line quality on your calls and connections.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Webafrica gives you free access to our VoIP phone call service<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you sign up for any Webafrica Fibre product you will automatically get a free VoIP account with us on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webafrica.co.za\/voip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Webafrica Voice<\/a> service. We give you 30\u00a0 minutes of talk time per month to ANY South African network. If you need more talk time than that, simply sign up for a bigger Webafrica Voice package.<\/p>\n<p>Our voice call rates are extremely economical. Even international calls will cost you only a few cents per minute.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can keep your old landline number<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have an existing landline number you can simply transfer it to your Webafrica Voice service. It\u2019s easy and we\u2019ll help you do it.<\/p>\n<p>So, not only are you saving on a voice line you don\u2019t really need, but you\u2019ll also pay a lot less per minute on your phone calls. All of our call rates can be found on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webafrica.co.za\/voip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VoIP page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>See a full comparison of our uncapped Fibre packages vs the equivalent ADSL packages on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webafrica.co.za\/fibre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fibre page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Fibre cheaper than ADSL?
