Pro tips if you're experiencing slower fibre speeds: 

Tip 1: Position your Wi-Fi router in the centre of your home.
Tip 2: Cordless phones, baby monitors and microwaves can interfere with the signal so try and keep these out of the way of your signal.
Tip 3: Avoid placing your router on the floor, in a cupboard or near other heat-producing devices. The higher up, the better.
Tip 4: Connect some devices that are stationary to an ethernet cable to enable lag-free gaming, smoother streaming and a more reliable home security network. This dedicates the Wi-Fi performance to your devices ( tablets, phones and laptops ) that move around a lot.
Tip 5: Optimise your network. If you have a large home or an intricate layout, you can install Wi-Fi extenders to give you that extra reach and coverage. Available here: https://shop.vox.co.za/dsltelecom/category/wifi
Tip 6: Upgrade your fibre package for higher speeds 👉 https://www.uncappedfibre.co.za/
