500Mbps uncapped fibre-to-the-home for R1,499

Atomic Access has launched a 500Mbps uncapped fibre-to-the-home service for R1,499 per month on the Frogfoot network.

The company is also offering free installation on its 200Mbps and 500Mbps products for orders before the end of September 2018.

What's the FUP?

That sounds like quite a good deal. I thought I was doing OK with 100/100 uncapped fibre for 750 bucks p/m and this is twice the price for 5X the speed. Not bad.

Who is this guy? Boys, I think we found our new favorite human. This is how a tech company must talk!

Atomic Access has launched a 500Mbps uncapped fibre-to-the-home service for R1,499 per month on the Frogfoot network.

The company is also offering free installation on its 200Mbps and 500Mbps products for orders before the end of September 2018.

“We believe 500Mbps is the sweet spot for premium home fibre services,” said Nicholas Soper, MD of Atomic Access.

“With our current Wi-Fi standards, most 802.11ac home routers will deliver speeds of around 360Mbps,” he said.

“With a 200Mbps service you are limiting yourself a bit, while paying for a 1Gbps service might be an overkill for most people – especially if your Wi-Fi network can’t deliver nearly that speed.”

He highlighted that depending on your Wi-Fi network, you can get speeds of up to 715Mbps – if you have 4×4 MIMO devices.

Dammit man! I love this, I wish more ISPs viewed stuff like this and not just as milking consumers.
Nicholas Soper path the way to 1Gbps for SA.

In Atomic Access we trust.
In Soper we bash.

Watch the service go to **** as soon as more people join.

Give me 50Mbps for R500 and I will be happy.

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

My firewall can only do about 300-400Mbps with IDS enabled, gonna need an upgrade soon.

Frogfoot isn't listing those speeds on its website. Only seeing 100mbps and then 1gbps.

Where must you live?

Where must you live?

Anywhere within Frogfoot's footprint, probably.

Pity..

 

[McGuywer]

What's the upstream speed?

Good question.

 

[stefan9]

What's the upstream speed?

Should be the same as download speeds. That's how frogfoot generally works.

That's a steal

With who?

 

[Dan C]

What's the upstream speed?

500/500 Mbps

 

[Swa]

Still waiting for the R200/m options instead of the same stuff being launched over and over.

 

[maccaman]

With who?

Would also like to know.

Would also like to know.

Probably talking kark.

100/100 start at R1100.
