Interesting Reasons You Should Choose Cell C Fibre and Their Mouth-Watering Deals

Cell C is one of the most popular mobile service operators in South Africa which has, through the years, touted itself as the customer-first operator in the country. Since it began operation in 2001, the company has introduced many products and services for both voice and data contracts. One of its most interesting services is the Cell C Fibre which offers a broad range of internet services through its different enticing deals. This service relies on the next-generation broadband technology which delivers speed that cannot be rivalled as well as flexibility, stability, and reliability among other things.

Cell C has partnered with various Fibre Network Operators including Open Serve, Vuma, Frogfoot, and Fibresuburb networks among others in its bid to provide the best of internet connectivity. With so many other internet service providers (ISPs) in a domain that is quite competitive with big names like Axxess, Afrihost, and MWEB, Cell C still manages to deliver good fibre connection.

Some Amazing Edges Cell C Fibre Has Over Others

– It delivers probably the fastest internet speed

As far as speed is concerned, you will hardly get any other that will outshine Cell C, being the first Internet Service Provider to hit a speed of 1GBps starting from 10MBps. While it is most difficult for one to achieve what has been advertised by the different operators, you will still come close to it. This essentially means that it is still extremely fast.

What makes it even more interesting is that the next-generation broadband technology is also reliable and stable. The speed that you get with this fibre connection goes well above what legacy ADSL or 3G services have to offer.

– There is a promise of consistency in speed

If you are a heavy data consumer or one who has so much doing on the internet, you must have realized that depending on what you are doing, there are times that the speed slopes a little before picking up again. Because of the unshaped connectivity, you get with Cell C Fibre, the speed that is delivered for sending emails or reading news on the internet, is also the same that you get when you are streaming your favourite show, listening to music or playing PS4.

Another important thing to know is that the speed of your connection is not determined by your distance from the local exchange. Cell C also promises that things such as the weather have no effect on the quality of service.

– Cell C Fibre data is uncapped

Unlike most other data that you purchase which all have a limit allocation, this is truly unlimited as it is uncapped. What this means is that once you are still within your validity period, you do not have to worry about running out of data because as it is promised, the data cannot be exhausted.

With the most other regular data, you are not only given a limit but at a point when your data is running out, the speed of your connection is automatically reduced. That is not applied here as you do not only get data that cannot run out no matter how you decide to use it, but also one that will not be slowed down as a result of usage; it is unthrottled.

– It comes with free router and setup

When you order for the Cell C Fibre, it comes along with a free router, and at the same time, you do not get to pay for the setup. In addition to that, most providers may also decide to give you free installation.

Cell C Fibre Has A Broad Range Of Packages
