Cybersmart has added new products to its existing fibre-to-the-business (FTTB) range, which includes a 200Mbps service with unlimited free calls.

In December 2014 Cybersmart unveiled its Lightspeed++ service, offering 150Mbps uncapped FTTB and unlimited calls for R15,999 (Ex VAT) per month.

The success of this service encouraged the company to launch new FTTB products, offering speeds of 50Mbps, 100Mbps, 150Mbps, and 200Mbps.

These new Cybersmart FTTB (Internet only) and FTTB++ (Internet and free calls) products are aimed at businesses in multi-tenanted buildings and business parks.

The service offers symmetrical bandwidth, 1:1 local and 1:15 international contention ratios, and unlimited free mobile and fixed line calls.

The service comes with 5 phone lines and 5 regional numbers, which means that it can supports 5 concurrent calls at a time.

The pricing for Cybersmart’s FTTB++ service is as follows:

  • 50Mbps FTTB++ with uncapped data, unlimited calls – R7,999 (Ex VAT)
  • 100Mbps FTTB++ with uncapped data, unlimited calls – R9,999 (Ex VAT)
  • 150Mbps FTTB++ with uncapped data, unlimited calls – R12,999 (Ex VAT)
  • 200Mbps FTTB++ with uncapped data, unlimited calls – R19,999 (Ex VAT)

The fibre-only option (FTTB), which excludes unlimited calls, costs:

  • 20Mbps FTTB with uncapped data – R2,899 (Ex VAT)
  • 50Mbps FTTB with uncapped data – R4,999 (Ex VAT)
  • 100Mbps FTTB with uncapped data – R7,999 (Ex VAT)
  • 200Mbps FTTB with uncapped data – R14,999 (Ex VAT)

Cybersmart CEO Laurie Fialkov highlighted that this is an Ethernet service, and is available in over 200 buildings in their coverage area.

“Our fibre-to-the-business service gets installed within 7 days or sooner and there are no setup costs,” said Fialkov.

    First question. Why is this relevant to gaming? Clearly this is aimed for business users. Unless you’re dripping with the cash and live in the same building FTTB is available (or own the building and for some reason converted it to residential, where it won’t be identified as a FTTB building in the first place), then gamers really don’t care if you can or can’t afford it. There are much cheaper options for 100Mbps FTTH available, why not report on that? Or does everyone here game at work?
