Since its founding in 1998, Cybersmart has established itself as
the leading privately owned ISP in South Africa. At Cybersmart
we believe in providing simple, easy to understand services that
cut out unneccessary cost and complexity.
Ultimately, internet services should be measured by their speed
and reliability. Cybersmart’s mission is to provide South Africa
with world class internet services at the best prices in the market.
Lightspeed Fibre Service
The Cybersmart Lightspeed Fibre Service provides your business
with world class internet at 100Mbps or faster at an affordable price.
How it works
Data and voice packets are transmitted at the speed of light via a
dedicated fibre pair from your office to Cybersmart’s nearest data
centre. Fibre connections are available in a 25km raduis from Cape
Town and Johannesburg CDB, 10km raduis from Umhlanga, Durban
and the Bloemfontein CDB. For added reliability Cybersmart has
bought international internet capacity on all three undersea cable
systems - SAT-3, Seacom and WACS.
Fibre in South Africa
South Africa has seen a proliferation of undersea, intercity and
metropolitan fibre networks since 2009 when new entrants, such
as Cybersmart, were first licensed to deploy their own networks.
The reason that fibre networks are being rolled out so quickly,
is that fibre offers significant benefits over traditional copper
or wireless networks. The benefits of Cybersmart’s Lightspeed
service over traditional ADSL and wireless services (such as those
provided by the mobile networks) are discussed below.

Speed
Fibre is proven to be the fastest technology
available for transmitting data - more than
100 times faster than any service available
over copper or wireless networks.
Symmetry
Unlike ADSL, Lightspeed FTTB gives you
symmetrical speeds – so that when you
buy a 50 Mbps Lightspeed FTTB service, in
actual fact 50Mbps is available – 50Mbps
upload and 50Mbps download.
Low latency
As transmitted data travels at the speed
of light through fibre, your latency is
significantly lower on fibre than any other
technology. Symmetrical bandwidth with
low latency is critical for real time services
such as gaming, voice and video.
The product latency is: < 5ms anywhere in
Western Cape, < 30ms to Johannesburg, <
175ms to UK

Cape Town and Johannesburg CDB, 10km radius from Umhlanga,
Durban and the Bloemfontein CDB. For added reliability

Traditionally as a business becomes more and more successful, the volumes
of its inbound and outbound calls increases substantially, driving up its
telecommunication costs. It’s almost as if the telecommunication providers are
taking a percentage of turnover. At Cybersmart we believe that internet should be
lightning fast and that you should have a fixed telecommunications cost no matter
how successful your business becomes, so we introduced FTTB++.
For the first time in South Africa, Cybersmart introduces a free hosted PBX, free voice
recording and free calls to cell phones, landlines and international destinations
bundled with its lightspeed fibre with uncapped internet. We are also aware that
moving from an old legacy PBX to the new hosted PBX is quite a big step for any
business relying heavily on their communications. There is the cost of investing
in new handsets and the risk of moving onto technology that is new. So we have
tried to eliminate that risk. As part of FTTB++, we provide five phone lines and five
telephone numbers as well as ten handsets for free. There is no cost whatsoever to
convert from the old to the new. Furthermore, for the risk averse, we can run both
systems concurrently to prove that our voice system is the way of the future.
Voice quality is e ected by two things
1. When you make a call you want the person to whom you are speaking, to be
able to hear you as fast as you are hearing them, otherwise there is a delay or
an echo. Voice calls want upload and download speeds to be the same. With our
bandwidth being symmetrical, this is achieved.
2. The quality of a voice call is a function of the bandwidth that is available to
voice. If the internet bandwidth is full the voice will break up. For this reason
we separate the internet bandwidth from the voice bandwidth and dedicate a
separate bandwidth channel for voice.
