The new Fon relationship will complement our existing WiFi zones and will give our customers access to cost effective, quality mobile Internet access and a growing network.” More than 1,000 major cities around the world are blanketed with ubiquitous Fon WiFi coverage.ĭerek Hershaw, CEO of MWEB, says “We have been looking for a way to broaden our customers access to WiFi beyond their home or office network without compromising the quality of internet access that they’ve become accustomed to.
Last year alone, Fon grew its network 50% thanks to partnerships with major telcos such as British Telecom, SFR France, Softbank Japan or Deutsche Telekom Germany. In return, Fon members are able to securely access any other Fon WiFi hotspot both locally and globally. CAPE TOWN & MADRID.- MWEB has announced a new partnership with Fon, the world’s largest WiFi network. The deal gives MWEB ADSL customers, with a Fon–enabled router, the exclusive opportunity to join a global community of 12-million WiFi users who share their connections with each other.įon, the global WiFi network founded in 2006 in Spain, but now represented on four continents, is made up of Fon community members who share a part of their bandwidth as a separate WiFi signal. I know 4Mbps is not fast, but I've heard some horror stories about line speeds with MWEB.MWEB and Fon collaborate to build South Africa’s largest WiFi networkġ6 JANUARY 2014. I'm currently on a 4Mbps line and capped at 40GB with Telkom and wondering if it's worth the move. The R199 is just for the package, there is a different price if one requires an ADSL line. Unfortunately ADSL is my only real option at the moment - it isn't economically viable to run fibre to our town and the wireless services here are a bit on the dodgy side. This promotion is available for new customers only.įor me the potential snag is it locks me into a 12 month contract for an ADSL when I've got fibre that has just sprouted on the verge.Īnd I didn't see anything in there that talks to the line rental charge.Īnd I didn't see anything in there that talks to the line rental charge.Thanks Dave Offer is subject to credit vetting and excludes 1GB, 2GB, 5GB, 1Mbps & 2Mbps Uncapped ADSL products.
