Hi Entrepreneur

Are you using the best fibre internet for your business? In this brief, we explore how choosing the right business fibre can enhance your company's productivity and efficiency. With a wide variety of fibre options available, selecting the best one for your specific needs can improve your connectivity, reduce downtime, and support your business growth.

Which Fibre is Best for SMEs?

For SMEs, fibre options vary based on needs like speed, reliability, and coverage. Fibre to the Business (FTTB) is ideal for high usage, offering better scalability, enhanced security, and reliability compared to Fibre to the Home (FTTH). When choosing a provider, consider pricing, coverage, and support. Providers like Vox and Telkom offer competitive packages, with features such as uncapped data, fast speeds, and dedicated business support, tailored for SMEs.

Choosing the Right Business Fibre for Your Needs

As an entrepreneur, choosing the right fibre provider is essential to your business’s success. Vox Business Fibre offers fast, flexible, and scalable connectivity with 24/7 support, but requires a 12/24-month contract and a setup fee. Afrihost is affordable, provides great customer support, and offers both capped and uncapped data, though installation costs and data caps apply. Webafrica has no installation fees or contract but may experience potential downtime and cancellation fees.
