HERO FIBRE IS COMING TO PORT ALFRED
Great news for Port Alfred!
Herotel has been given the green light to continue building the fibre network in Port Alfred. Their
teams are already hard at work to complete the network build as soon as possible.
The Hero Fibre network is planned
to go live in January 2022 and will be
able to deliver internet speeds of up to
200Mbps to home or business users,
at some of the lowest prices in South
Africa.
Fibre internet is a game-changing
technology that delivers a great online
experience with consistent internet
speeds. Local network and support
personnel coupled with world-class
technology will ensure the most stable,
reliable service available.
The 50Mbps Hero Fibre product is
well suited for most homes and small
businesses. It will allow you to stream
your favourite HD movies and series,
support up to 4-6 connected devices or
users at any one time, do some online
gaming and generally cater for your
digital lifestyle. To connect more users
or devices, for multiplayer gaming or
extensive use of cloud-based services
you should consider the 75Mbps,
100Mbps or 200Mbps services.
Herotel is different from other
operators in that they install fibre
above ground on poles, only going
underground when they cross a road
or on parts of the main feeder network.
Every suburb has an allocated space
between homes, typically at the back
of a property, that has been reserved
for essential services such as sewage,
power and telecommunications. This
is where the aerial fibre network is built.
A single pole can usually service 3-4
households meaning fewer poles are
needed per street. Building this way
allows for a faster build, easier network
maintenance and most importantly
high-quality internet at low prices.
Port Alfred will soon be joining part
of the growing Herotel network in
South Africa. With more than 46 offices
across the country and local technical
support teams, you can expect great
service.
