Did you know your ADSL is not cool anymore?

Yes, like leg warmers, boy bands, and cassette tapes, ADSL is out of fashion. If your neighbourhood has had fibre internet infrastructure installed, your ADSL could be disconnected. These changes will be effective as of the 1st September 2020. This means affected users may need to change their service provider in the migration process.

Which areas are affected?

A lot, like almost everywhere. However, if your area has not had an infrastructure upgrade to fibre, you can still connect using your ADSL, but only for now. A comprehensive list of affected areas can be found below. These areas will have to migrate to fibre as the ADSL lines are being disabled permanently. Fortunately, there is no need to panic, if you find your area below, you can compare fibre deals on hippo.co.za to find the best option for you!
