fibertime™ devices

Can I get fibertime™ on my pocket modem to take with me when I travel?

Toggle

Eish mtase, we wish! fibertime™ is a fiber connection, meaning that you need to be in a fibertime™ zone to connect to the internet.

Unfortunately, you can’t take fibertime™ with you when you travel, but you can use it all over your community when you can see @fibertime™ in your wifi settings.

To check coverage, WhatsApp us on 078 886 1090.

Can I take my fibertime™ router with me when I move?
