| Get Ready for Fiber Internet |
 |
Skyband will soon be connected to its own independent fiber
We are in the process of commissioning our own independent international fiber links. This is being commisioned in conjunction with Gateway Carrier Services, a subsidiary of Vodacom South Africa. We will have direct fiber links into South Africa and into Eurpoe using a combination of EASSY and Seacom
This will enable us to provide faster, lower-latency and more affordable products. Our fiber will be backed-up by an additional fiber route later in the year as well as by our existing VSAT gateways in order to provide you with the same quality and relaibility that we have always afforded to you.
