Fibre or 5G for gaming?
Start with fibre for a fixed gaming setup. Fixed 5G is the alternative where fibre isn't available. Ping is the time for data to reach a game server and return, so a nearby server, a wired connection and a clear route can matter more than the fastest download package.
| What matters | Home fibre | Fixed 5G |
|---|---|---|
| Connection | A fibre line to your property | A router connected to a mobile network |
| Gaming performance | Not affected by mobile signal; routing and Wi-Fi still matter | Affected by signal strength, router placement and mobile demand |
| Getting connected | Existing line activation or a fibre installation | Compatible router, coverage and activation |
| What to compare | Download/upload speed, monthly price and installation charges | Package speed, usage terms, router cost and coverage |

Not sure it will work on your street?
It's fair to wonder. You have probably been promised fast internet before and still lost matches to lag. Here is how Cool Fibre works.
Read how home fibre and fixed 5G work
Home fibre connects your property to a fibre network. Cool Ideas provides the internet service over the network available at your address. Your package sets the advertised download and upload speeds; Wi-Fi, devices and the server you connect to also affect performance.
Fixed LTE and 5G connect a router to a mobile network. They can be useful where fibre is unavailable, but signal, router placement and network demand affect speed and latency. Check wireless coverage separately from fibre.
Compare the ongoing monthly price, router and delivery charges, installation requirements and cancellation terms before you choose. Explore home fibre or compare fixed LTE and 5G.
Your questions. Straight answers.
What is Cool Fibre?
Cool Fibre is the gaming division of Cool Ideas, an Afrihost Group company. Enter your address and Cool Ideas shows the fibre or 5G you can get.
How do I win the monthly prize?
Play all three games: Cool Six, Ping Sniper and Beat the Lag. Use the same email on each and save each score. The highest total score in the month wins. For November 2026 the prize is 2 rAge Nation tickets and a Stealth Series wireless gaming headset. Every month after that, the prize is 6 months of free internet. No purchase necessary. The draw terms are on the Promotions page.
Is fibre or 5G better for gaming?
Start with fibre. It is not affected by mobile signal. Fixed 5G is the alternative where fibre is unavailable. Your ping still depends on the game server, routing, congestion and your home network.
How much does home internet cost?
Fibre starts at R444/month on the MetroFibre 30Mbps promotion, on new installations. Promo price for new customers. Check the ongoing price before you order. Openserve 1Gbps is R1,699/month in select areas. MTN 5G starts at R199/month, router excluded. Your address decides which offers you can get. Prices as listed by Cool Ideas.
Does uncapped mean guaranteed speed?
No. Uncapped describes the data allowance, not a guaranteed speed or ping. Cool Ideas describes its home fibre as uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled. Fixed wireless packages have their own speed and usage terms, which you should check separately.
Can I use fibre during a power cut?
You need backup power for both your router and fibre terminal. Your fibre network also needs working backup power. A UPS can help, but it cannot guarantee service during a network outage.
What should I check before switching?
Check coverage at your address, the ongoing monthly price, installation and router charges, and cancellation notice with your current provider. Confirm the new connection date before cancelling your existing service.
Don't switch blind. Read what customers say.
Before switching, read about other customers’ experiences with installation, gaming and support. Look for recent feedback that matters to your connection.
