Fibre & LTE Internet | Site Essence

Fibre vs LTE โ€” What’s the difference?

Both give you fast, uncapped internet. Here’s how to choose.

๐Ÿ“ถ Fibre Internet
Fastest available speeds (up to 1Gbps)
Most stable & consistent connection
Truly uncapped โ€” no AUP throttling
Free router + free installation
Ideal for homes & businesses with multiple users
Requires installation (takes ~7 days)
Fixed to your home/office address
Not available in all areas yet
โœ… Best for: Your home or office where you need the fastest, most reliable internet possible.
๐Ÿ“ก LTE / 5G Internet
No installation โ€” plug in your SIM & go
Available almost everywhere nationwide
SIM delivered in 3โ€“5 days
Portable โ€” use it at multiple locations
Buy router on checkout
Subject to AUP (speed steps down after threshold)
Speeds vary with network load & signal
Generally slower than fibre at peak times
โœ… Best for: Areas without fibre, or when you need internet fast with zero installation.

FAQs

Fibre questions answered.

Is there an installation fee? +
We offer free installation. A R249 once-off router delivery fee applies to most providers โ€” this does not apply to Vuma Reach, Openserve WebConnect, and Frogfoot Air.
When do I start paying? +
No upfront payment. You start paying your monthly price only after fibre is installed and activated at your premises. Pro-rata billing applies if you activate mid-month.
Is there a contract? +
No long contracts โ€” it’s month-to-month and you can cancel anytime with one calendar month’s notice. A cancellation fee may apply if you cancel within 12 months of activation.
Does the price include line rental? +
Yes โ€” the price you see is the price you pay. All fibre packages include both data and line rental. There are no hidden extras.
How long does installation take? +
Most providers take about 7 days. Once your line is installed and activated, you can be connected to Site Essence within 24 hours.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my speed? +
Absolutely. You can upgrade or downgrade your speed up until 5PM on the last day of the month. No penalties for changing your speed tier.
I already have fibre with another ISP โ€” can I switch? +
Yes. Contact us and we’ll guide you through the migration process. You can transfer your existing fibre line to Site Essence easily.
How does Vuma Prepaid work? +
Vuma Reach Prepaid gives you 30-day vouchers of unshaped, unthrottled fibre. Vouchers are paid by card or EFT. You can stack up to 6 vouchers (180 days) at a time. Installation, activation and a WiFi device are all free. Available in selected areas only.

FAQs

LTE questions answered.

What is LTE? +
LTE uses wireless networks and SIM card technology to connect you to the internet. It’s quick to set up, requires no fixed line, and is a great option for people who want flexibility and fast setup.
Do I need a router? +
Yes, you need a compatible LTE router. Our LTE SIM works in any 4G-compatible router. If you don’t have one, you can order a router together with your SIM โ€” they’ll be delivered at the same time.
Can I insert the SIM in my phone? +
No โ€” our LTE SIM is designed to work in a router only, not a mobile phone.
Are the packages truly uncapped? +
Yes, all packages are uncapped โ€” you’ll never be completely cut off. After your high-speed data threshold, speeds step down in stages (see the FUP table above), but you remain connected all month.
Is there a contract? +
No contracts. It’s month-to-month and you can cancel anytime with one calendar month’s notice.
How long will delivery take? +
Your SIM card will be delivered within 3โ€“5 business days from your order date. If you also ordered a router, it will be delivered at the same time.
What is RICA and why do I need it? +
RICA (Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-Related Information Act) is a South African law that requires all SIM cards to be registered. You’ll need your ID and proof of address to complete RICA with our delivery agent.
How do I pay monthly? +
All payments are made via debit order. You’ll set this up during the sign-up process.
