Are you one of the many South Africans missing out on the savings and benefits of fibre internet?
We at
Vuma believe in a world where everyone is connected. We also believe that staying in touch with your loved ones or streaming your favourite shows and movies from the comfort of your own home shouldn’t cost the earth.
Since more reliable and affordable home connectivity options are available, like uncapped fibre deals from Vuma, it’s mind-blowing that most South Africans use more mobile data at home than when they are out and about.
So what is fibre internet?
Fibre internet is a form of internet connectivity that delivers high-speed data through glass cabling by literally using the speed of light. Because fibre is less prone to interference from buildings, electrical signals, and adverse weather, you are less likely to experience downtime – making fibre internet the most reliable connectivity solution available. Fibre also has no monetary value, reducing the likelihood of theft.
What are the benefits of having fibre at home?
Fibre is fast and can reach speeds of up to 1Gbps. That means streaming Netflix in HD without disruption, accessing more online learning resources, and endless social media browsing becomes a breeze from the comfort of your home. Fibre gives you access to a more stable, reliable internet connection without the hassle of running out of data – it's uncapped and limitless.
Having fibre in your home also means you can connect various devices, from laptops to PCs to home security and monitoring devices, tablets and phones, without weighing the network down.
