ADSL is an outdated technology and Telkom is phasing out ADSL and VDSL across South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Telkom CEO Sipho Maseko said the company aims to exit the copper segment entirely in the coming years, which will force ADSL subscribers to get another Internet connection.<\/p>\n<p>Fibre is the logical choice as it offers faster speeds, a more reliable connection, and affordable uncapped packages.<\/p>\n<p>It is perfect for streaming Netflix, ShowMax, and DStv Now, listening to music online, or watching YouTube videos.<\/p>\n<p>Fibre is particularly suitable for families where more than one person is online at the same time, thanks to its higher speeds of between 10Mbps and 1,000Mbps.<\/p>\n<p>While many suburbs have fibre coverage, there are areas where people cannot get fibre, though. In this case. fixed-LTE is a good alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Fixed-LTE is quick to install, provides good speeds, and offers affordable high-data-usage accounts.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">The easiest way to move to fibre<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/supersonic.co.za\/Pages\/Home.aspx?utm_source=MyBroadband\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Supersonic<\/strong><\/a> makes it easy for ADSL subscribers to move to fibre or fixed-LTE, and offers affordable uncapped fibre-to-the-home services throughout South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>It also offers fixed-LTE products over MTN\u2019s award-winning network, starting at only R249 per month.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about moving from ADSL to fibre or fixed-LTE, complete the form below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; margin-top: 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/general\/lead-forms\/supersonic\" width=\"100%\" height=\"480px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fibre is faster, more reliable, and more affordable than ADSL.
