ADSL is Out

ADSL is Out

A few months ago Telkom announced their intention to discontinue their copper network infrastructure.

This means that they will no longer be offering ADSL internet or (in the future) a landline telephone service.

That means that you need to choose an alternative to method to connect to the internet and make calls.

The Alternatives to ADSL

Your Alternatives to ADSL are Fibre and LTE.

LTE offers a wireless internet signal which one connects to via a SIM which is inserted in a special router (modem). The disadvantage of LTE is that the network quality is often poor, connection can be intermittent, and the data is VERY expensive. 

For these reasons Faircape does not offer LTE.

FIBRE is the best connection you can get. 

Fibre is the most reliable internet connection you can get, it’s the fastest internet connection you can get, and in most cases it works out cheaper than ADSL (after you have removed the cost of a landline, phone connection and ADSL line, which are all essential to ADSL, but which you DO NOT NEED for Fibre.)

Because Fibre is so stable and so fast, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities. 

Reasons you will love Fibre: 

TV and Movies – with Fibre, you can “stream” movies and TV shows at a much lower cost than traditional satellite TV subscriptions.

Share photos and video – you and your family can share photos and videos via google drive, social media or even email.

Phone Calls – With Faircom’s VoIP phone service, you can keep your existing landline number and make calls at a much lower call rate than your landline. 

No Contracts – all of our Faircom Village packages are month-to-month, so if you don’t like it, you can cancel at any time. 

No Data Limits – All of our Fibre packages are uncapped – which means that you can use as much data as you like every month and you will never run out. 

Choose the Line Speed you need – We offer various “line speeds” – this is how many megabytes of data you can download in one second. Basically, the higher your line speed is, the faster your internet will be. 

First Month Free – We will not bill you for your first month, so you will have enough time to cancel your ADSL line and you don’t have to worry about paying for two services.
