It was so easy to fill in what was needed to get the quotes from Hippo. And then when I left the site, I received a whatsapp reminding me of the results I received and could there and then select which quote I wanted follow-up on. Got a call within 5 minutes from the selected company. Great experience.

It was easy to get a quotation and a call back from the insurance company. The only challenge was choosing the correct vehicle description to get accurate information to the insurance company.

How does Fibre work?

Once your line is active, your router takes care of the rest, sharing the signal to your devices over Wi-Fi or a wired connection.

Light speed

Fibre connections can reach speeds of up to 1000 Mbps (upload and download), compared to an ADSL average of around 10 Mbps download and 4Mbps upload

No more “Resting Zoom Face”

Because it transmits data via light, a Fibre connection can deliver almost zero lag time (low latency) when you're working, streaming or playing online.

Cut the cord

Unlike ADSL, which is tied to a copper telephone line, you don't need a traditional landline for a Fibre connection to work.

Go full throttle

Most Fibre packages are uncapped and unthrottled, so your speed doesn't dip just because everyone in the neighbourhood is home and online at once.

Down and up?

In internet terms, "down" refers to downloading (receiving data from the internet), while "up" refers to uploading (sending data to the internet).

How much download speed do you need?

The more devices fighting for bandwidth, the more speed you'll want.

< 50 Mbps

Ideal for most households. Multiple devices and video calls.

100 Mbps

Remote workers, 4K streaming, online gaming

> 200 Mbps:

Multiple heavy users, large file uploads and downloads

Understanding Fibre costs and fees

Fibre packages vary in price. Before you commit, it's worth checking for the following:

Installation fee

Many providers offer free installation as part of a promotion or 12-month contract. Others charge a once-off setup fee for non-standard installations, such as when extra cabling is needed to reach your home.

Delivery fee

If your wifi router is couriered to you rather than installed by a technician, some providers may charge a separate delivery fee. Always confirm whether this applies before signing up for a package.

Cancellation fee

Month-to-month contracts are easy to walk away from, typically with a calendar month's notice and no extra costs. Fixed-term contracts can carry early cancellation fees, so check the terms before you sign.

Additional costs

Some providers include a Wi-Fi router as part of the package. Others charge for the router separately, or allow you to use your own router if it is compatible with their network.

Home Fibre FAQs

Does Hippo Fibre cover my area?

Hippo is not a Fibre/Internet Service Provider but rather a leading comparison platform that allows users to compare deals directly from Fibre providers available in their area. Hippo overlays the coverage maps of the major fibre network operators in South Africa into one tool. We will tell you whether Fibre Internet is currently available at your address and, if not, whether it is planned for roll-out in the near future.

How long does Fibre installation take?

Installation timelines vary by provider and network. In most cases, you will be connected within 1 to 14 working days of placing your order, with line activation taking up to a further 5 days after physical installation. Areas with established fibre infrastructure tend to move faster than areas where fibre is still being laid.

What happens if there is no Fibre coverage in my area yet?

If your address shows no current coverage and no planned roll-out, a month-to-month LTE connection is a practical interim option. It requires no installation and can be cancelled easily once Fibre Internet becomes available.

What does it mean if Fibre is "planned" in my area?

It means a fibre network operator has been commissioned to lay fibre in your area and roll-out is underway. You can usually still select a package now. Some providers connect you on month-to-month LTE in the meantime, then switch you over to fibre once your line is live.

Do I need to be home for Fibre installation?

Yes, in most cases. Installation involves running a cable from the street to your home and connecting it inside, so a technician will need access to your property.

Is Fibre installation free?

It depends on the provider and the package. Many include free installation as part of a promotion or a 12-month contract. Non-standard installations, such as those needing extra cabling, may carry a separate setup fee. Always check the full cost breakdown, including any delivery fee for your router, before signing up.

Can I cancel a Fibre contract?

Month-to-month fibre packages are easily cancelled, usually with a calendar month's notice and no additional costs. Fixed-term contracts may carry a cancellation fee if you end the agreement early, so check your provider's terms before committing.

Do I need a new router for Fibre?

Most providers include a fibre or wifi router as part of the package. Some allow you to use your existing wifi-enabled router if it is compatible, which can reduce your costs. Confirm this with your chosen provider before ordering.

How much faster is Fibre than ADSL?

Significantly faster. ADSL typically delivers download speeds of around 4–10 Mbps, while entry-level fibre packages start at 20–25 Mbps and go all the way up to 1 000 Mbps (1 Gbps). Fibre also offers symmetrical speeds, meaning upload is as fast as download, which makes a big difference for video calls and working from home.

Should I choose month-to-month or a fixed contract?

It depends on your situation. Month-to-month gives you the flexibility to cancel or switch providers with minimal notice, which suits renters or anyone unsure about how long they will be at their current address. Fixed-term contracts often come with lower monthly pricing so the upfront commitment can save you money if you plan to stay put.
