Webafrica is offering a wide range of broadband products to South African consumers, but two of these services stand out as being suitable for online gaming.<\/p>\n

Fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) is the best option, as the technology offers very high speeds and low latency.<\/p>\n

Webafrica is aggressively growing its fibre-to-the-home subscriber base, with a footprint in 100 locations in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Webafrica uses five providers to offer its fibre-to-the-home products: Telkom, Fibrehoods, and Vumatel \u2013 with Octotel and Frogfoot to go live soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would suggest gamers move to one of our many fibre enabled areas, and get onto one of our new Uncapped Fibre packages,\u201d said Webafrica\u2019s Greg Wright.<\/p>\n

If you are not lucky enough to live in an area with fibre coverage, the next best service is Webafrica\u2019s Home Pro ADSL packages.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Home Pro ADSL\u2019s shaping policies are geared toward the needs of gamers,\u201d said Wright.<\/p>\n
