Not so long ago, we were able, for the first time in human history, to connect with friends and loved ones on the other side of the world through a live video chat. You could even do your grocery shopping online and have it delivered straight to your door. Now today, you can connect your mobile device directly to your fridge, and it will tell you when your milk is running low, or even order your new bottle of milk directly with the retailer and have it waiting for you when you get home.
The truth is that technology and daily life are becoming more connected in every way, but with ever-evolving technology comes more frequent updates and a constant demand for improved processing capabilities, which means you need access to the fastest speeds available.
So how do we keep up?
The simple answer: fibre to your home.
With the fastest speeds, the most reliable connectivity available, and a medium that is future proof, it makes perfect sense to switch your connection over. To know whether your home is ready for fibre, ask one simple question:
“Is my area supported by a fibre network?”
Yes, I have fibre in my area
Contact your preferred Internet Service Provider and choose your preferred package.
Your installation will be scheduled at a time convenient for you.
One of Openserve’s expert technicians will come through to your home to provision the fibre from the wallbox on your boundary wall into your home.
Be prepared:
Decide where you want your access point to be installed.
Keep in mind that the CPE fibre access box will be mounted on the wall and you will need a power source nearby.
The fibre installation requires technicians to run a cable from the street distribution box to the CPE fibre access box, so remove any major obstacles that could get in the way, such as couches, tables and wall units.
Understand that quality installation can take time, so prepare to set aside at least half a day to monitor the installation in your home.
No, I don’t yet have fibre in my area
- Contact your preferred Internet Service Provider and ask them to speak to Openserve about a fibre connection in your area.
- Once your area is confirmed as ‘fibre zoned’, it’s important to prepare your home for the switch by following the steps listed above.
There’s no doubt that technology is going to continue changing the way we live. So why not get ahead of the curve and switch to fibre from Openserve, South Africa’s leading infrastructure provider. They already have a fibre network of over 147 000 kilometres and were voted South Africa’s Best Fixed Broadband Provider for two years running in the annual MyBroadband Awards.
