How It Works
fibertime™ is pay-as-you-go fiber internet for homes and communities across South Africa. No contracts. No debit orders. No credit checks. No installation fees.
When connected, your internet is completely unlimited — no data caps, no throttling. You buy days of access, not data bundles. Every home gets a free router and UPS battery installed.
No data caps. No speed limits. No surprises at the end of the month. Stream, scroll, game, video call — all day, every day, for as many days as your voucher covers.
Vouchers & Pricing
fibertime™ now has its own voucher — the easiest way to pay for your internet. Buy it at the till at participating Shoprite Group stores or on the Money Market app, from R20. No bank account needed. Just say fibertime™.
The easiest way: ask for the fibertime™ voucher at the till at participating Shoprite Group stores, from R20 — or buy it on the Money Market app. Keep the slip; your voucher code is on it.
You can also buy at your local spaza shop or through any of these — no bank account needed:
Once you have the code, go to fibertime.app, log in, and enter it to activate your days.
You simply go offline. No penalty. No charge. No contract to cancel. When you're ready to come back, buy a new voucher and enter it at fibertime.app — your account and devices stay exactly as you left them.
Check you've entered the code correctly (it's case-sensitive) and that you're connected to @fibertime™ and logged into fibertime.app. Still not working? WhatsApp us with your code and cell number.
WhatsApp: 078 886 1090Getting Connected
Yes — phones, tablets, laptops, Smart TVs, gaming consoles. Anything with WiFi works.
To add a device: fibertime.app → Menu → My Devices → Add Device. Link a voucher to it and it's online.
No. Your fibertime™ account is linked to your cell number only. Even if someone connects to the same router, they cannot access your account, your voucher, or your devices. You're in full control.

Devices & Router
Your router is linked to your current address and can't be moved. If you move to a community where fibertime™ is active, WhatsApp us and we'll get you set up at your new address.
