They offer affordable uncapped fibre-to-the-home services and make it very easy to get online.<\/p>\n<p>Supersonic 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>ADSL is getting shut down across South Africa on 1 September in areas where fibre connectivity is available.
