What's in the name? ADSL, Fixed LTE and Fibre are 3 Great Internet Solutions!

At Fibre Boyz, we have three primary internet solutions for our customers which usually work out to be the most accessible and the most cost effective. ADSL, Fixed LTE and Fibre are all great connectivity solutions, but the pros and cons are dependent on your specific individual needs and wants. Speed requirements usually are the overriding decision criteria when selecting your solution. If you are a student for example and merely need the internet for research or emails you may not need an extremely fast connection compared to someone looking who streams for entertainment or has to be on endless video calls for work.

Lets be clear, Fibre is the fastest solution with reasonably priced options to choose from, the problem thought is that it is not readily available everywhere. ADSL is a much more budget friendly option and due to Telkom’s mass rollout historically, is available in just about any residential area, but it is limited by speed and external factors like copper theft and corrosion. Fixed LTE, which is a great option for people looking for flexibility in contracts on the other hand is great for mobility and can be installed instantly.

To help you make the best decision, it's important to make the following considerations before you make your choice. Due to the mass rollouts on fibre and the current fibre pricing war where fibre network operators are giving great fibre deals, it is important to also think ahead. If there is a fibre rollout currently in your area, patience is the most important determinant and a contract free solution like Fixed LTE may be your easiest choice.
